I use Aurios isolation bearings under my Dunlavy IVa's. It's amazing at how quite (non vibrating) the floor and speaker cabinet get. I know it sounds like an odd idea to put speakers on bearings, but it actually makes sense if you tjink about it. The bearing is in a cup shaped base so in order for the speaker to move it must move the bearing up hill, against gravity. It can not do this so the speaker is still, the ball vibrates (I guess) in place and isolates the floor from the speaker and visa versa. Imaging is better, my base has much better definition. Try to find a cheap used set (three bearings per speaker) or a local dealer who will let you try them at home.
The best way to isolate my subs from the floor?
I live in an old home with wood floors that seem to be a little weak. My room vibrates whenever my subs kick in (I have two for loading). They are Von Schweikert SR1's, so these are musical subs, not at all boomy, and they are turned down. It's really an issue of room construction.
Do the products available for other types of speaker isolation work with subs? They are downward firing, so I worry about what I put under them. Can I screw up the sound by putting them on the wrong material.
BTW, on the matter of money, I've spent most of what I had to spend this year, but this can't wait. Cheaper options appreciated. :)

p.s. I rent, so nothing permanent and nothing that might damage the house.
