i don’t think you can generalize what is an ideal speaker-floor interface method across all speaker types and floor types; that is a mistake.
how my 750 pound each (x4), twin tower, Evolution Acoustic MM7’s work on 6 inches of concrete is different than a speaker half or less weight on a suspended wood floor. then take that smaller, lighter, speaker and add multiple subwoofers to it.
that smaller speaker on the trampoline of a suspended wood floor being also energized by a bunch of subs will likely get a net benefit from the extreme decoupling of the Townshend springs. then consider the cabinet build quality at particular price points and that is another factor favoring extreme decoupling.
my MM7’s are over-built with 2000 layers of baltic birch and pressed together by a 6 ton press. you have 750 pounds of mass and a concrete floor. i still use Wave Kinetic 2NS speaker decoupling footers for a small degree of decoupling which does eliminate smear.

horses for courses.
passive resonance treatments are very much a matter of context. one size does not fit all.
btw; my speakers are voiced using the 2NS footers on a concrete floor. i have visited my speaker builder multiple times. he set up my speakers in my room.
