rixthetrick,
Your descriptive method is much the same as the Townshend model. The tweeter excursion will have to counter the forces and overcome the damped cabinet motions. Keep in mind this is audio and the focus are on transistors, chassis and magnetic movements and not that of two-ton car springs or structural buildings surviving earthquakes. We do have a member on staff that has studied both building structures and vibrations in the Earth.
With springs in audio, our research demonstrates that chassis movement establishes the loss of finer details of high frequency distribution leaving the listener with the false impression of hearing more bass. By reducing the finer details of high frequency distribution via these methods introduces a product layer of inertia that inhibits voice coil rise time and slows the retraction of the reverse piston movement.
By arbitrarily reducing both polarities of shear, one of which is required to achieve full bandwidth and amplitude while the other can be routed to ground preventing the regeneration of interfering energy. The dispersion patterns of drivers in constant swaying motion questions the theorem behind springs as being everything they are currently being hyped up to be.
First it was cones of all types then spheres came on the scene later advancing onto combinations of every shape known to man and now springs. We have witnessed a lot over the past thirty plus years.
Both spring theorem and resonance transfer work. Springs have issues with movement and time artifacts and variable weight capacities where our products are always compared to the twenty-cent speaker floor spike.
Not all springs, spikes, platforms and racks use technology nor do a lot of support systems for acoustic cello or bass. I know this because I am a member of Star Sound Technologies and the designer/owner of Tone Acoustics.
Everyone is of their own opinion, beliefs and justification but until the listening tests are taken, no one will ever know or realize the shortcomings and potentials that are debated on audio forums.
We do have a have a ME on staff with a degree in geophysics. Her patent describes a method to remove interfering energy in some string instruments gained from her understanding and recognition of polarities of shear. She is both a registered engineer and geologist.
She has also worked as Geotechnical Engineer in the housing industry.

Star Sound Technologies was awarded a most wanted product of the decade by Stereo Times..both Terry London and Mike Wright used our Sistrum Platforms when reviewing Tekton speakers for that same magazine. Check it out..
