Isolation of speakers eliminates the variable of what kind of floor it is. If thy eye 👁 offend thee pluck it out! It could be a trampoline floor, it could be a cement floor, it could be a suspended floor on the tenth floor. And higher floors are moving side to side 🔛 due to wind and other forces - and in rotational directions 🔄 as well as vertical. People tend to hyper-focus on vibration in the vertical direction 🔝only. There are six (count em!) directions, at least. In the horizontal plane there is an infinite number. 🙀
speaker/stand, couple or isolate?
I've read a lot about floor standing speaker interaction with the floor and whether or not isolation or coupling might be the right approach depending on the type of floor, e.g., concrete, suspending wood floor, etc. I suspect the same rules apply to the speaker and the stand as a unit but what is the common wisdom about how should standmount speakers be placed on the stand, especially the larger/heavier speakers on 4 leg sand/rice filled heavy stands where tip over is not much of a concern. Thanks.
