A rigid non-compliant interface avoids stored energy characteristics of polymers implemented for decoupling purposes, not unlike avoiding the high dielectric constant of inferior insulators such as PVC vs. Teflon dielectric involvement from an electrical POV.
Less stored energy is key to better sounding cable designs, and that notion also applies to vibration/resonance control devices/methods, IME.
In my experience, a loudspeaker can benefit from both rigid and compliant vibration/resonance designs rather than just one vs. the other. Using both in tandem as a layered system can bring the benefit of both for loudspeaker and component vibration control purposes.
In my case, I use very rigid, well-dampened Sound Anchors speaker stands spiked to the floor, with 10mm x 40mm carbon fiber discs padded with Herbie's Audio Thin grungebuster Dots between the bottom of the loudspeaker enclosure and the top of the speaker stand. The result is fast and responsive to my ear vs. thick decoupling polymers that tend to bloat/slow down the sonic signature.
