speaker stands, worrth it?
Discussion
Im going to buy a good set of B&W 'bookshelf' speakers from a friend at work, he is also selling some speaker stands if i want them.
I'd like to know if they are worth having? Will it really make a difference over them being sat on spikes on a shelf/cabernet top?
Any help appreciated.

Even longer answer.
All speakers need good coupling to the surface they sit on and that surface really needs to be rigid. ( It's no good putting them on a whipy shelf, the whip will remove frequencies you don't want to loose.)
The stands in theory will plant the speakers firmly to the ground maximizing the sound and frequency response. Also, some people will fill the stand with lead or sand to firm it a bit more.
