Floorstanding speakers are made to sit directly on the floor and good companies take that into consideration when designing them. Some companies put casters or whatever else they have on the bottom to prevent vibrations from refracting into the floor. I say if you have decent carpet not to worry about it, but you shouldn't put speakers flat on hard floors in my opinion.
Bookshelf speakers or monitors typically are put on stands, but anything will do so long is there is not a lot of vibration being transferred to something that resonates audible frequencies. I don't see any problem with a bookshelf sitting on two milk crates stacked on each other.
but remember. Tweeters need to be at eye/ear level. I can't tell you how pissed off I was when I realized how much I was coloring the sound (and correcting the color) just by being closer to the mid-range driver when I read about this and decided to put my 3" speakers directly on the floor.
Hanging anything but a floorstanding speaker doesn't produce any problems that I am aware of. What are you dealing with to hang it with, like a reverse stand? Chain? Rope? Whatever the answer, just make sure the hanging thing doesn't vibrate too much and feel the ceiling and make sure it is okay too.
