Is anyone using the MoPad on their monitors and is it worth it? Does it make that much of a difference on the low end?

Yes I am. I also have speaker stands that are sand filled. The two have made a much better bass response than without.
If I were going to do it again, I would choose the Primacoil monitor pads though likely. More massive.

Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizers, here. I think they do a good job of isolating my monitors from their stands and they formerly did an even better job of preventing resonance/coloration from the shelves the speakers were mounted on.

Hi,
Yep, I have the Mo pads, but honestly, I can't tell a great deal of difference with my near-field monitors at low listening levels. For what they cost though, you might as well get some. They're bundled with some new monitor deals.....oh and they help tilt my monitors slightly more toward my ears !
Cheers,
Graham.

Re: Anyone using Auralux MoPad or something similar?
I work for a company that makes tiny microphones for cellphones and laptops and we use isolation pads to isolate our low noise test fixture from table vibrations due to test equipment fans, elbows hitting the table, mouse movements, keyboard clicks, pen/pencil scratching on paper (engineers still use paper), etc - anything that would vibrate into the test fixture and degrade the noise floor of our test setup. It's a little different application than monitor isolation but it is far more sensitive in my opinion. We've tried several types of isolation pads and the best, by far, are those made by IsoAcoustics. With other pads I can knock on the table and the microphone inside the fixture can still sense it. With the IsoAcoustics stands - nothing. They do a GREAT job isolating what's on top of the stand from what the stand is sitting on. I do not work for the company. I'm just a very happy customer and can't recommend them highly enough.

It stands to reason that output transducers will excite resonances in any space, if they produce frequencies that the space can reinforce and once they're loud enough. It's hard to produce feedback, in the middle of an open field, (I'm country enough that I've tried, lol) but the smaller the acoustic space, the more we need to worry about resonance, which can be thought of as multiplications/products of a space's dimensions, minus the absorption from the component materials of the space.
We build shockmounts for microphones, so it just makes a certain sense to try to decouple speakers from potential sources of acoustic distortion.
