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?

barjohn-you are on an audio site. Audiophoolery  is the name of the game here.

There is no product that doesn't need to be tweaked, cryo'ed, fused, retubed, cabled, sprung...etc.

After you do  all those things, you start a forum thread titled: "what's best, digital or analog?"
