Thanks for the response, Winston.

It helps put your review in greater perspective.

I'd agree that synergy is crucial. I've settled on SP Ultra Minis under my Oppo player and tubed c-j line stage as providing the best overall system balance in my listening environment after trying a variety of cost-effective footer designs and materials. In my configuration, bass down to the speaker/room effective lower limit of ~35 Hz punches and growls where it should, so it's not an issue. Note that I use four footers in each location--listening indicates that it works better than three in my situation.

Speaking of location, I've found that footer placement is critical in eliciting biggest bang for the buck. Under-the-chassis symmetrical appearance is nice, but where a transformer, for example, is "off-center", placing a footer there as opposed to the "esthetically-approved" location can make a substantial difference. Which is why, I guess, this appears in the Tweakers' Asylum.
