What is vibration isolation for?
Albertporter, where are the vibrations coming from that audiophiles are trying to cancel/alter. The music within the room? Or is it something else? 
What is vibration isolation for?

Why do crossovers do more harm than good???
Chazzbo, check out Linn - the 'aktiv' crossovers get tucked neatly into the amplifiers. 
Tango Recommendation
