There's so much to unpack in this...
Admittedly, I am a believer in combination coupling and decoupling to address vibration concerns.
But this? I'm highly skeptical.
First, friends here will know I use the Soundpath Feet on my two Subs and the Bass Cabinets of my Phil3s. Each of these cabinets with feet sit on top of a damping pad (mine are concrete from an architectural concrete specialty shop that does counters, fireplaces and such; salvaged from their boneyard of rejected parts.) which is coupled directly to my floorboard via spiked outriggers.
My own research led me to this solution, aiding in my solving for energy transfer through a very spongy suspended wood floor.
When listening to music with my Subs, stock feet, there was clear transference of energy to the structure, evidenced by vibrations felt directly through my seat and structural and decorative items rattling.
Subs (stock feet) on Concrete Pads (alone) on carpet still produced noticeable energy conduction. Subs with Soundpath Feet on carpeted floor or on Concrete Pad (alone) produced some energy conduction still, but it was lessened slightly.
It wasn't until my Outriggers were delivered and installed on the Concrete Pads that I felt and heard a noticeable change in the environment. In my previous posts, I think I quantified an approximate 85% reduction in signs of energy conduction to the structure of the house. It is only in the most extreme situations that the wavefronts themselves wreak havoc with my environment.
You cannot isolate your way beyond the effect of Acoustic Energy: simple physics.
This methodology works both ways and is suitable for those with sensitive electronics too. This is the idea behind the sand-filled box or "butcher block" board, but the implementation I described above should still be followed according to my research with the damping platform
coupled to the surface its on, and the item on top of it
decoupled from the platform.
(As an aside, here, the Phil 3s have sorbothane bumpers on the upper cabinet to help isolate it from the bass cabinet. In describing my room's structure to Dennis, he even recommended that the bass cabinet could possibly benefit from it's own isolation, too.)
*Note: Spikes couple... they do not decouple or isolate as many claim.
So, my first nit to pick...
The packaging should NEVER be a pro for the performance of the item.
Second... $500+ per Speaker treated. (I did mine for less than half that cost! And much like Gene admitting his Kimbers are audio Jewelry, I say the same about the Outriggers on my platforms... Spikes alone would do the job. Without the Outriggers, my complete solution would be between 1/5 and 1/4 the cost of IsoAcoustics.)
Next... Directional? No mechanical drawing, no dice. Pics or it didn't happen. Which then leads me to ask how do you install these on a unit like the SVS Ultra Towers with Side-Firing Drivers? What about Down-Firing Drivers?
Another... Improves Imaging And Focus? Shall we add Soundstage Dept and Width, too? Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Ooh... CHOCALATELY MIDS!!! C'mon...
Look, I'll give this much: By reducing the conductive energy transferred through to the structure of the house, I noticed what
could be called a "tightening" of the Bass output. This would stand to reason if you are reducing other vibrations in the structure of the house: the acoustic output will sound cleaner.
But on a Concrete Floor? How much conductive energy can be transferred to the structure of the house?
The rest of this? I call shenanigans.
