SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?

In a word the audio system, sub-woofer included, when music play, are not a mass of separated parts no more; they are ONE totally integrated and linked system, mechanically, electrically and acoustically in your room...All parts and field interacted and participated in the recreation of the musical sound in your ears... And sometimes your brain will observed an improvement, coming from one of these 3 dimensions and improving simultaneously the dimension of perception linked also to an another one of the 3 and sometimes even the 2 others....

This is my experience....Someone more knowledgeable will explain better the details...It is very easy to verify with simple modifications...

"...unsuspecting who stumble onto his flying saucer website."

Even these guys stumbled upon it.

Or, come to think of it, is it just a marketing trick of a well-connected salesman?

I don’t see why a gizmo designed to impede the *transmission* of bass frequencies would necessarily dampen those frequencies in the room in which they’re being generated. After all, there’s a big difference between the subwoofer’s feet and its driver(s).

>>The gizmos don’t dampen the frequencies generated into the room by the speakers. If anything they increase them, by making the speakers perform more efficiently. That’s one reason everything should be isolated. Isolation of electronics is a two way 🔛 street. It blocks floor generated vibration AND reduces vibration on the “top plate” of the isolator, including airborne vibration. It’s two, two mints in one! 🤗

Springs are the way to go. All the talk about the springs in this post is all true. I looked at the Gia twos and I was disappointed but there’s no springs in those it’s like ball bearings and rubber layers. You’re welcome for the scientific explanation. LOL I install these on my sub woofers and my regular speakers. It’s been about a year and they’ve done a great job. As soon as I install them I noticed the difference that all the rattles in my room were gone. I’m not gonna tell you that the soundstage was bigger and blah blah blah, But they were doing a lot of isolation because as the volume went up the rattles became more frequent and now as loud as I can listen to it which is beyond comfortable there are no more rattles. Before I install these I drilled a larger hole in The bottom foot to allow me to screw them into the threaded inserts of where the original feet were. Each foot supports between 30 to 40 pounds. Here’s the link.

Talking about the benefits of component or general isolation is not the topic here..

I go back to where a guy on YT did an experiment with the SVS rubber Isolation feet on his sub in sealed mode on a concrete slab and the output was significantly less when measured with a mic.
