Personally I would prefer to reserve judgement unless I have experienced a product or test reviews of the same from reliable sources.
So instead of having 4 spikes to try and sit level/stable you now have 12 !!!
Is this fixing a problem that doesn't exist?
How loud would you need to be playing back at for this to be a real problem?
Of coarse lifting the speaker another 30-40mm away from a boundary affect surface isn't the reason why it will sound different
Comes with the obligatory wooden display box.... disappointed no cotton gloves to handle them with care.... hang on there are detox wipes !

I have previously purchased several Stack Audio products myself and all have been excellent. So I really would prefer to wait for first hand reviews of the products before passing judgement myself. In due course we will all be better informed as a result.

It would seem at the price reviews are likely to come from hi-fi journalists first. Few & far between from joe public.

Agreed. I'd like to think that if the speakers are well designed and built in the first place then cabinet vibration shouldn't be an issue - I can't see them making one iota of difference with the DBLs . . . .
No judgement given or intended, just tongue in cheek forum monkey mode engaged, my apologies if I need to add a
to make that clearer.

Try placing a saucer of water on the floor next to your loudspeaker and play something really loudly, (in the absence of an accelerometer )

That would no doubt be the case early on, I agree

Try it, you need enough transmitted vibration to get the floor to audibly resonate.

I’m not quite sure what you are suggesting I do - what does the saucer of water do??
I do have a suspended wooden floor.

Try it and you will find out, don’t drink it though!

Bit of this, bit of that
They can't absorb vibration and hold the speakers rigidly.
If the external structure is stiff enough to hold the speakers rigidly then they provide a direct path to ground for vibrations, any vibration isn't interested in jumping across an impedance mismatch into a clump of tungsten particles or anything else.
Path of least resistance n all that. Like any mechanical support it'll have a specific response to vibration based on frequency, amplitude and supported mass, here's looking foreardvto seeing a frequency sweep from 20-20khz at 5-50kg supported load..... lol...
