Disclaimer: I just mentioned these in our development thread for our Saranna fullrange speakers as well, since we're collaborating with Egeland on feet for these speakers. But I thought I'd create a specific thread for them as well. Hopefully this is okay (let a moderator know if not), as I have no commercial binding with Egeland Acoustics beyond the fact that we are a customer. I benefit nothing from sharing this. I'm just eager to spread the word about a new Norwegian audio company. :)

Egeland Acoustics is a new startup and/or Audio company from Norway creating both ready made and custom feet for both speakers and components. They show a highly scientific and experimental approach to dampening feet that I find quite fascinating. The feet are designed specifically for a given weight (or weight class for the ready made items). They are 3D printed in a composite thermoplastic elastomer, and for some versions also carbon mixed in.

Internally there's an interesting 3D waveform structure that gives flex in all directions when you squeeze it with your hand, but yet are quite firm and stable when used under the speakers or components. His tests show that up to 96% of the vibrations / energy to/from the component is removed compared to no feet at all.

The website is only in Norwegian still (google translate probably works well enough though), but inquiries can be made directly to support@egelandacoustics.no. The prices are pretty good as well, I suspect too low for how advanced and effective they are.
Here is a long page about how it all works: https://egelandacoustics.no/blogs/om/hvordan-virker-det


A few pics from the website: (he has a certain style on most of these feet, but they can be made in basically any form, shape or size as far as I understand)
