I am in the camp of vibration isolation. I think it makes sense that the less energy transfer into the floor goes into the air. I found these really cool magnetic isolation feet that I’ve never seen before.
So these really cool magnetic isolation feet that you've never seen before, I imagine they float the speakers above the floor in gloriously perfect isolation. Wonderful.
So then when the speaker cone moves one way, the speaker cabinet moves the other way. Because, Newton. That force has to push against something after all, even if its just the air, and if its gonna move the air one way the air is gonna push back and the speaker is gonna move the other way.
Which the speaker is now free to do, floating on magnets and all. Free to move.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems we want the air to move, and not the speaker?
