Stillpoints - snake oil?

Interesting thread--I am considering using Ultra SS with the Ultra Bases as footers for my new speakers (which are now being built). I have not had the opportunity to try any Stillpoints till now so would be interested in feedback when used in this application. I looked at a variety of options (trying to find a less costly alternative) but am persuaded, for a variety of reasons, that the Stillpoints may be the best way to "float" the speakers in my room (suspended wood floor above basement level). One thing I took into consideration was the fact that two very respected designers of high end gear (David Berning amplification and Artisan Fidelity turntables) apply them as standard on every product.

Thanks, @dgarretson. My Apollo's will be fitted with 1/4-20 threaded inserts. My plan is to remove the cap on the Ultra SS and thread the body into the Ultra Bases, which will rest on the floor. The body of the Ultra SS will thread directly into the inserts on the speakers. Speaking with the folks at Stillpoints directly, they recommended this approach as a way of increasing the surface area where the Stillpoint interfaces with the floor (no dimples) and also increasing the effectiveness of the Ultra SS. I'll report back on how it works. My plan is to run the speakers in for a month or so, evaluate the sound with just basic spiked footers and floor protectors and then swap in the Stillpoint Ultras/Bases so I can evaluate any changes in the sonic presentation. Should be fun!
