DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor

Love Platforms!

"I always thought you wanted to couple your speakers to the floor (with spikes).     Now it is best to decouple them?"

There is no such thing as decoupling in audio. That's just a talking point from those who are dampening. Once you put your speakers in a room all the physics of that room and the speaker becomes one and the same.

Hi Blue

Springs are a great tool when voicing your system. Once you start using them you might find other materials that you like the sound of better than aluminum, rubber and granite.

Steve's invention of the Tip Toe was also revolutionary and was the beginning of the audio cone. I prefer the sound of Brass and Zinc and even mild steel as being more tuneful especially use with wood materials.

So bdp24 thinks that you can place something in a room without it touching anything. Nice trick lol.

Not on Earth anyway.
