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.

I have had the same setup with all my speakers. Carpet over wood floor, cinder blocks on the carpet, tiptoes under the speakers (pointy side to the cinder blocks). Works great, and the tweeters are the perfect height. Remember, you want the tweeters at about ear level from your listening position.

If my speakers were taller, I'd use paving stones instead of the cinder blocks.

Good speaker stands also have a way of decoupling the speaker from the stand.
