I hear you and feel your pain
If you take the total cost of the speakers and then add the cost of the footers, you could consider the total package as a different speaker that simply costs more than the one you have now. The only thing then is to decide is the new speaker and it's higher cost worth the performance increase. What I decided and apparently many others is that it was worth the extra cost. The nice thing is that you get a new speaker without having the hassle of selling the old one and incurring the loss of value.
As with most tweaks, you would want to try it before committing to buying especially at the price. Although the level of performance increase goes beyond what I would consider a tweak.
