Footers under new speakers

@buellrider97 I am trying to show there are ways to get much of what can be attained for much monies for a lot less.

Is aesthetic the trade off, not necessome of the arily if a little extra thought went into the end design.

I recently put a Link up to Barry Diament who is the Godfather of releasing the designs for some very common items seen today with large price tickets, but Barry's designs can be produced for very low Dollars.

Barry's Footers would be great for Tier 3 and Tier 5 used in conjunction with a perforated wall material as the Tier 1, on the Speaker Base Support I am suggesting and regularly use.

As I have a large range of Isolators I can play with the Sub Sub Plinth and Sub Plinth Separators and attenuate the end sound incrementally, but not substantially, as the Five Tiers does the Substantial Change when used as the whole structure.

In your own case Tier 1 Separators are with lesser choices as other controls are needed in conjunction with being a support.   

A recent test of isolation tweaks that Might be helpful:

@rodzilla47  +1 thanks, that is the exact link I intended to post and could'nt remember where  saved it.

@ronboco, I wonder how many here have actually measured how much their speakers are resonating.

Measure it accurately: I use an old unloved, unwanted tonearm and cartrige jury rigged so I can use it to measure vibrations. This is way more sensitive than any phone App! Just rest the stylus on the DUT and plug the output into a spare amp phono stage and measure the output with DVM.

Isolation works best as has been described.

Also how can we know the platforms don’t alter the pistonic movement of the drivers thus altering the sound?

Newton’s 3rd law states: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so yes there will be an alteration but will you hear it?

Using Newton’s Law and considering a conversation I had with Max Townshend at the Premium Audio Show in Veldhoven, Holland in 2019 who has now sadly passed away, the old gentleman explained that say your speaker weighs 40Kg and the cone of your speaker weighs 40gm we find a weight ratio of 1:1000 which equates to 0.01dB

You will not hear that. Consider the response of your room’s huge effect on your speaker output. Below Schroeder the room dominates. Fact. Even an acoustically treated room will have peaks and nulls and if not then you will measure peaks/nulls in the order of 12 to 15?dB.   You gonna hear 0.01dB.  Pffft

What you will hear is a vastly improved sound when speakers are Isolated.

@buellrider97 I somehow lost a long detailed post. Please see post above regarding Uncle Newton to allay any fears and restore your logic

I am also carpet over concrete. How about removing your carpet and epoxy coating in any colour the entire surface as found in car dealerships. A rug between speakers and you necessary. If placed on plastic honeycomb underlay it will allow the rug to breathe. I don't know your domestic agreement with the boss but if you can swing it use a ceiling cloud which brings huge benefits. Consider that we evolved with our ears always the same distance from the ground and that the ear/brain relationship allows for this. Far more damaging is reflections from the ceiling. Outdoors there is no reflection from above except in a thick forest where jungle sounds are pleasant.

A ceiling cloud along with bass traps is the strongest weapon in my armoury.

I intend to DIY some springs similar to Townshend but my detailed explanation somehow vanished. This can be another post if you're interested.
