By audiophile reasoning, would just ONE spike, perfectly balanced, be

What do you mean by 'audiophile'...???

The sort of reasoning that puts spikes on speakers but doesn't really
know why. Some say it's to "couple". Others to "decouple". What do
you think they're for?

You can do either... you can couple the speaker to a huge mass, or you can
decouple it from all (possibly resonant) masses. Either method works, and
you can measure whether it's working or not (or you can just put your hand
on the floor and feel if it's vibrating).
