Vibration isolation or absorption?

You see those pointy things at the bottom of a speaker that are very very sharp.  Arguably a weapon in the wrong hands.  And then you see those same pointy things inserted into a disk.

So the pointy things, aka ‘spikes’ , can Channel vibration elsewhere and away from the components and speakers, or they can isolate it.

Seems channeling vibration away from a component/ speaker, which I guess is absorption, is preferable.

Is this true? And why do they keep saying isolation.

clearthinker,

unfortunately you're wrong concrete vibrates just as bad as a suspended wooden floor except at a different frequency Max Townshend proved that, The best speaker vibration isolation are the Townshend podiums, The isolate all the way down to three hertz, I haven't found any product on the market but can isolate that far down and stop the Earth vibration which is constantly vibrating your speakers they're not cheap but best upgrade I've ever done.

those are less the mirrors will not isolate down to three Hertz like that Townsend podiums do I'm sure if you compare the two you would see how much better the podiums are compared to those things but they're not cheap. but I have no don't that the podiums are on a whole different level better than the elastomers
