You are now raised the speaker too much and you loss some bass energy by doing so. Maxx is a tall speaker already, raising it further will create a sound stage too high for most people.

Actually, that is not correct. base + Ultra SS is pretty close to the same height as Base and spikes. With just Ultra SS, its too short. Remember the Ultra's are around 1.5-.6 in height, the 5's are 2.25.
They sound better as in cleaner with a gap between the surface and the Stillpoint. This is also what Stillpoints recommends. I have been using mine for a couple of years now.
as you know, Wilson speakers can be adjusted for any listener height.
Your bare wood floor will have a different sonic impact on the speakers to my thick carpet on concrete slab.
Don't worry, the Maxx3's have plenty of bass regardless.
