I still believe in non 'wobbly' speaker placement. Many years ago I owned Magnepans. These have a very large driver surface. When I played loud(ish) I noticed that the frame literally moved back and forth with high bass and drum energy. Not much, but noticeable. I then supported the top of the frame to the wall behind the speakers with light aluminium rods. The result was quite shocking as the increase in bass quality, energy and precision was much bigger than I expected.
If there is a chance that the speaker can move due to bass driver excursion I'd be careful. Speakers like Phantoms will probably not suffer from this as bass drivers cancel cabinet movement. For a suspended wooden floor I guess it might be good to avoid sending vibrations via the stand to the floor - in case the floor 'plays' the sound, but other vice I think 'firm' speaker placement is good.
