One crucial question is whether there is anything inherently special in the fact the the woofer box sits on spikes. Sure, they minimise the contact area, but does this really make that much of a difference? Would any stable coupling of the woofer box to the contact points on the frame be equivalent?
I was thinking about this too. The complication with the SBL is that although Naim says the box B must rest on the spikes and not the mastic, the mastic nevertheless performs an important role not only in sealing the join, but also in sticking the boxes together. Without the mastic the least knock would dislodge it. So if one could devise a way to attach the boxes firmly together and then seal the gap it would be a more robust design.
Not sure about magnets in proximity to woofers?
