Should I spike my B&W 804D's

Hello,
I own a set of B&W 804D's. Right now I have them set up on the rubberized feet that they came with. I have them in the final posistion that I want them in and they sound great. I am contemplating putting them on the spike feet. I just dont want to damage my hardwood floors. Does spiking them really make a difference on hardwood? I guess there is only one way to find out. Is there any case where the rubberized feet would be prefered over the spikes? How do you guys have your speakers set up on hardwood? Thanks alot.

thanks for the insight guys. I am hesitant to mess with it too much. It is already sounding really good to my ears. I'm just always trying for that last little tweak. I fear I am at the point of diminishing returns though as far as speaker setup goes.

I may just try them out on the spikes anyway. My curiosity is getting the better of me. I will report back after I listen to them for a few days on the spikes.

Check out Herbies speaker sliders. Not only do they accept spikes , but you can move the speakers without damaging the floor. I have them under my Andra 2's that weigh 215 lbs each and I am able to easily move them around my room. My room is carpeted, but I believe that they will work with wood floors also.
