Using spikes does isolate the subwoofer from the floor; that's the whole point of them (no pun intended), AFAIK. It creates a very small path for the sound waves to be transmitted through to the floor.
I would think the granite does the same thing in a different way. Instead of isolating the sub from the floor, its large mass absorbs the soundwaves, preventing them from reverberating in the floor.
I'm sure the experts will tell me if I got this all fouled up, but this helps me justify using floor spikes, anyway
