“The only good vibration is one that’s dead.” - Shannon Dickson

Yes, I know what some of you are thinking, “but speakers are like musical instruments. They’re supposed to vibrate!”

Is this so - are speakers supposed to vibrate? I thought it was just the drivers, and the speaker shouldn't.
Or am I missing something?
Hence I use Townsend Podiums for main speakers regardless of floor type

4 stupid questions from me then

Why have a cabinet? - just suspend drivers along an inert pole. Is that what you mean by an open baffle, but is planar totally open? (I have no idea what planar is in this context, do we need any planar aspect anyway)

Surely the other drivers vibrate from the other drivers more than confusion from a box - so what happens there? It's all relative

Why are speakers/drivers in one speaker box? Why not have 3 or 4 or more boxes?

So a concrete floor is just as much a vibration issue as a wooden floor as the speaker will still vibrate the same, presumably ?
