I have my own hypothesis about how spikes work. I think they lift the cabinet off the floor and allow the bottom surface of the speaker to vibrate, thus contributing to the sound along with the other five sides of the cabinet. The fact that the newly spiked speaker sounds a little different and the listener's expectation that spikes will make it sound better ensures that that is the result that is reported.
