What worries me about the Michell is that center post. It appears to fit fairly snugly, but it's hard to tell.
I can see it being extremely effective in the vertical plane. It leaves me wondering how well it does with horizontal or torsional forces.
Like others, I don't see a way to tune it other than adding mass to the plinth. And it likely works best when each foot sees the same mass, meaning that one would need to balance the mass of the plinth very carefully.
