In years gone by, Tekna Sonic dampers for speaker cabinets and subwoofers effectively dissipated cabinet vibrations - with no side effects. Sadly they went belly up πmany years ago. The good gnus π π is that isolating speakers accomplishes the same thing, dissipating cabinet resonances, plus prevents any hint of mechanical feedback π to the front end electronics. The only good cabinet resonance is a dead resonance β οΈ Speakers are not (rpt not) the same thing as musical instruments. π¬
speaker/stand, couple or isolate?
I've read a lot about floor standing speaker interaction with the floor and whether or not isolation or coupling might be the right approach depending on the type of floor, e.g., concrete, suspending wood floor, etc. I suspect the same rules apply to the speaker and the stand as a unit but what is the common wisdom about how should standmount speakers be placed on the stand, especially the larger/heavier speakers on 4 leg sand/rice filled heavy stands where tip over is not much of a concern. Thanks.
