Are speaker stands worth the money?

Should I put rubber feet under speakers?

Spikes are best on carpet, to give a better grip, although they’re not that much better than rubber feet. Rubber feet are best on hard flooring. There’s no need to isolate a speaker to keep it from causing the floor to vibrate, because it can’t.
