Geoff,
Every product you have mentioned at length is a transducer..a converter of one energy form to another energy form. All transducers have loses and yes that's (what you want) and (how you think).
The Star Sound products are not based on that same old tune. Our products are not energy converters but energy directors.
Materials matter. The impedance of the material matters. The velocity of sound thru the material matters. We carefully choose our materials for their sonic influences and character. We determined that the speed of our chosen materials when direct coupled to most hardwoods or concrete that all of these materials have much the same velocity. On the other hand if you take a steel or brass rod and attach it to a pile of rubber the difference in the sound velocity thru those same materials will have a differential of over 50 times. If those same hard materials terminate into Sorbothane the ratio would be even greater and worse for sound. And then you have these same materials at rest re terminated to a wood or concrete floor. It's rush hour stop and no go! Not much moves but it does backup because the rate of conversion at one end is much slower than what the pipe end is being feed from the other end.
We terminate our designs Directly into the much greater mass of the floor surface on which they rest. As I said the floor surface material velocity and that of the steel and brass we use are very similar and will provide energy thru put unreachable by any model you have ever mentioned or described.
