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.
