I have to stop you fellows.
Spikes "do not" drain anything. They simply act as mechanical couplers.
If a speaker is "reacting" to its drivers by vibrating, then the spikes will couple the cabinet with the larger mass (the floor) and reduce the reaction from the drivers, by adding that mass.
It is that simple. All this mumbo jumbo about shape of the cone, and metallurgy and such is "mish mash".
Spikes are NOT Drains, for they don't "drain" anything.
They simply make it more difficult for the drivers to have a reactive (force) effect on the cabinet.
These long thermodynamic answers are making me dizzy, their so full of mis-information and mis-interpretation.
