I have a REL 528SE subwoofer and tried springs (Nobsound) to see if the sub would sound better. However, went back to using blue tak to affix to my suspended wood floors, as I preferred this sound over the springs. The bass seems tighter and also turns out that I had a lengthy correspondence with Justin at REL who suggested blu tak as the preferred method for their subwoofers.
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?
