Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room?


Just wondering if anyone else has suspended their speakers. My first attempt was with an old pair of infinity's which I placed on top of a bicycle tube. I was wondering if manufacturers would design a speaker with this in mind? My main purpose is to keep the floor from resonating, IMHO it works well.

jbl 4430/4435 studio monitor have been designed for the purpose of being suspended from the ceiling or soffit mounted. the bottoms of the monitors have 4 eye hooks installed through the factory and steel bars installed in the speakers bottom and bolted to the baffle. for this application, you simply flip the speaker upside down and connect the cables and hoist! audiophile speakers are not designed like this cuz of the nonsense the magazines promote. they worry to much about how the speaker will look instead of how it sounds. so you can pay $10,000 but get $50.00 worth of drivers. with these speakers that wont be the case. mike
