Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub?

I think ill go with what the designers and engineers at Rel suggest to do as opposed to listenng to posters on this site.

Quite a few people bought the Edsel too. Was it a BAD design?

Push button gear select? You tell me.. stupid name for sure.

Just because a manufacture pumps out subs, doesn’t mean the design is great for all application..

Like I said. Jackhammer, the bottom fire passive without a butt plate is total KID stuff.. 1970-80 tech.. HT maybe... You CAN’T decouple that type of sub... It has to be in a slot.. or not at all and move the passive to the sides or even the top and spring load or air ride the bottom..

Mine are better, by no small margin, pure and simple. GRs servo system is really good to.. When you build them, you learn.. hopefully..

When you sell them.. LOL there is a price point. ADDING a bottom plate is expensive.. LOL 20.00 at least. And then isolation.. 50.00 MORE for a REAL stereo system sub..

 Not a REL, though it is good looking.. I could make it work correctly for ME..

I have talked to at least a dozen different designers and engineers. Every single one of them said no don't do that. Caps, diodes, fuses, springs, power cords- you name it. You can ask as many as you like, I don't care, I challenge you to find one anywhere who says anything that cannot be boiled down to: "We use only the best, you cannot improve, do not even try."

This is for any component- amp, speaker, sub, cable ANY component- and any part - fuse, power cord, footer, cap, resistor, diode ANYTHING - it is all the same answer.   

Go ahead, find me the one who tells you, "Yeah good idea we have to meet a price point and you don't so you can do a lot better." 

I won't be holding my breath.

In the last month or so I have used 3 Nobsound spring feet on each of three SVS sealed subs in my listening room. I pull out most all the springs and have no difficulty with the subs staying in position on carpet. The reduced bass through the suspended wood floor was noticeable.

I've been too lazy to do serious AB (springs in/springs out) comparisons yet but the sound is as good, without 'floor effects'. Put three under my turntable as well; I think they're more suited to mechanical issues. Would like to try under my speakers but need to think of a very safe way...  :-)
