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

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

Yes, bungee cords act like springs. Same idea whether the springs are compression type or the tension type. 

The best choice would depend upon the speakers used, the floor/substructure composition and (of course) your ears/preference.

List your gear/room/floor info in order to receive informed/meaningful opinions.

Interesting cables (never heard of them, but just went through their site).

Your listening room is approx. the same dimensions as mine (though probably better as it's a rectangle instead of the odd horseshoe I have).

Assume that bass it full/deep as it has been in my room with previous fuller range speakers (than my current tiny Tots:-).

My first thought would be to isolate the subs from the sprung floor, while in turn simply spiking the speakers to the same (Tekton supplies spikes I gather).

Forget the name of the fave sub isolation platforms (not expensive as I recall) and perhaps another member can fill in the blank.

Think the manufacturer may also offer isolation stands for small desktop monitors.
