The springs are simply part of the mass/spring iso system. Analogous to seismic vibration isolation, isolating the system from the vibrational energy of the speakers (cabinets) is accomplished by absorbing the energy via the mass/spring system, where it’s converted to work and heat. The mass/spring system would thus have to move somewhat during the whole isolation process.

Hence creating motion artifacts and larger amounts of interfering energy within the component that is placed in "isolation" Tom

No, Tom. The motion is imperceptible and only at one frequency, you know, the resonant frequency of the iso system. So no harm/no foul. Plus there are not larger amounts of interfering energy within the component that is placed in isolation. There’s LESS interfering energy. That’s kind of the whole point. Hel-looo!

Have you given any consideration to consulting your new seismologist on this subject?

cheerios

Yes she agrees with me. Tom

Tom - Better hire a new seismologist.
