I've got no beef with this product. I have heard them at shows and heard an improvement. I would love to try them at home, but I don't think I'd put out the hard cash for them unless the difference was stunning.As the other poster mentions - It's the method and pricing of this tweak that kind of turns me off. We have a resonable acoustic explanation. Now why in the heck would you need gold, silver and platinum to create this effect? A different design with a baser metal/alloy makes a lot more sense. But definitely doesn't trigger the 'precious aquisitive' button that so many audiophiles have (I'm guilty myself sometimes).
The real fact is that just about everything in your room resonates and interacts with sound. Instead of spending the $2,000 or so minimum it appears you need to spend to get a good set of these, you could spend the time experimenting with the objects in your room and rearranging furniture, etc. You'd be amazed what the differences are if you actually approached this like a scientist. You might just find that an old brass umbrella stand does amazing things for your sound. Or some real plants, or best of all some real musical instruments in your room (how about some $30 tibetan bells?). And the differences really can be dramatic.
