Looks like a constrained layer platform using some type of acoustic foam, or maybe fiberglass like the Owens corning 703/705, as the primary damping material. This would be a decoupling solution like Townshend's springs, Herbies elastic material, or the A/V RoomService EVPs. All of them are basically springs, but they each have different elastic properties and will likely sound different from each other when used under your speakers. I would simply use your platforms and enjoy your speakers unless you are really curious and feel the urge to try different things. Only you can tell which product you like best, and for that you must try them in \your own system.
Townshend Springs under Speakers
I was very interested, especially with all the talk. I brought the subject up on the Vandersteen forum site, and Richard Vandersteen himself weighed in. As with everything, nothing is perfect in all circumstances. If the floor is wobbly, springs can work, if the speaker is on solid ground, 3 spikes is preferred.
