Michael, the spacers are for tuning the bass and should be room, amplifier, and set-up dependant....so there is no 'right' amount.
when i had WP6's i started with no spacers but kept fighting a mid-bass 'hump'. my room was only 12' wide and the speakers were very close to the walls. i inserted both additional puppy spacers and this reduced the mid-bass hump considerably.
some amps will cause heavyness in the bass and require raising the speakers. when moving the speakers closer to a wall ot farther away you may find that lowering or raising the speakers may get you more neutral in the bass.
what another user does won't help you much unless their setup and room is identical....the key is understanding cause and effect. the floor is a room boundary; in fact the most prominent one. as you move the woofer closer or farther away the bass will load up or lean out.
the speaker is more stable without any spacers.....that would be a practical advantage to not using the spacers.
