I am a big fan of the Townsend isolation products. I have them under my main speakers, amps and equipment rack and they really do make a noticeable difference. I was looking to put them under my REL 812/s subs (2). As they are not inexpensive I thought I would contact REL to see what they had to say. In their opinion, they said I would hear no perceptible difference adding isolation to the subwoofers. My wallet cheered this news but my instinct still wonders if I am not missing something.
Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate?
What is considered the best way to "foot" a subwoofer, should one try to connect it with the floor or isolate it? I have a REL 7i that I have firmly coupled to my wood floor with the weight of a 42 lb curling stone, mainly because it looks cool. Would some sort of isolation be better and reduce resonance from the floor, or could the connection with the floor help "drain" resonance from the subwoofer cabinet?
