. . . you're going to end up with permanent depressions in the carpeting where you site your proposed stands.As others have said, the spikes pierce the carpeting and couple to the floor below; unless the pile is incredibly thin, you'll never see the spike holes.
I'm a high-mass-stand kind of guy. I currently use concrete pillars (bird bath pillars, actually) with spikes on the bottoms piercing a carpeted floor. The spike marks don't show, but if I had just put the pillars directly on the carpet, it would look like a moonscape by now!
FYI, the best results for me came from using a mastic substance (like blu-tak, but the 79-cent variety ;-) ) between the stands and the speakers, not spikes.
