Driver screws do loosen with time, especially bass drivers due to vibration. I suppose if one played their system at low levels only, this would be less of an issue. The effect of tightening driver screws is increased solidity and impact in the sound. Most better made speakers use allen or torx head screws into threaded inserts so they can be tightened well without worrying about stripping. If your speaker uses wood screws, than I would agree to be careful about tightening them.
Just about every speaker these days uses spikes to properly seat the speaker into the floor. If monitors are used, then the speaker stands are spiked. I have found it is rare to be able to tighten the spikes all the way into a cabinet or bottom plate; small adjustments are generally needed to adjust for irregularities in carpeting and the floorboard. Hardwood floors obviously need less adjustment. While playing, minute movements of a cabinet caused by rocking has a large affect on bass performance. Again, due to vibration, spikes loosen with time.
Cleaning and tightening connections and dressing your cables are all well known ways to improve the sound of a system, however, I suppose in the jest of your post, you overlooked these truths.
