What your choice speakers with spikes or speakers with a vibration isolation device?

Mapleshade MegaFeet

Kalali +1....I'm now on a suspended hardwood floor and using Herbie's products under my speakers.

I always decouple, no matter the floor..No spikes ever...I dampen the enclosure, as much I can. If you can get the KNOCH factor to green concrete, you've done a good job...

I go by the pound..about 60 lb a foot for monitors, bass lowriders or bass columns.

I'd hang the darn things if I could figure a way without turning the room into looking like the Big Top at Barnum and Bailey's..

@ 60 lb a foot, that's over a ton hanging from the rafters, with just 4, columns. There are 8 enclosures in there.

Hanging is out, spikes are out. 

Adjustable spring mounts and silicone.
A spring suspension and different viscous ratings for the rubber, from staying liquid (like an accumulator, or a shock), to a VERY hard dry material.
Hospital generators, and power plants in floating structures use them.. Where I got the idea from 40 years ago. ZERO harmonics, as long as the dampeners would stay charged, (no leaks from the bladders) with nitrogen

There is NOT a better way to control harmonics...

Vibration = distortion, simple...

I suspended my Rogers LS35a speakers from eye 👁 hooks in the ceiling with bungee cords. Was that so wrong?

Geoffcait, I don’t have enough scientific chops to say either way. I would think that if the bungee cords still had some spring affect in them then it would be the same or better than a spring loaded solution on the floor. I have been fascinated with the line array speakers that you see at commercial venues. They make sense there I wonder if that idea will creep in to the home audio market. I guess somebody is going to have to figure out how to make it lookLast commercial and more homey
