        Never mind. I went directly to Roger West and this is his reply:

        Hello Eric,

        Connie gave me your question to answer since I am the designer. Concerning isolation feet, they are used for two purposes, first they look high tech and secondly, they help to reduce vibrations from a speaker cabinet, especially if a powerful woofer is involved. When high vibration waves are occurring in an enclosure the proper feet can reduce audible vibrational energy that is coupled to the floor. I am certainly not against using them for this reason. Usually,box designers attempt to make the box no larger than necessary, which concentrates
        a lot of energy into a small volume. However, in contrast our speakers, as you know, do not use the woofer in a box approach. The energy in our panels is spread out over a large area which eliminates energy concentrations that can cause vibrational
        noise. Thus, I do not recommend isolation feet be used since any vibrations are extremely small. However, if a person wishes to have the high tech appearance then they could
        be used. Hope this helps.

        Best regards, Roger West

          Has anyone used isolation feet on their SoundLab speakers, mine are Majestic 745s, and if so, what feet and did you notice any difference? Thanks.
