Default Speaker spikes to reduce vibrations through the floor?


"Serge Auckland"
"D.M. Procida"

Would speaker spikes help cut down the sound transmitted to the
occupants of a flat on the floor below? If not, what would?

I believe the floor is carpeted, and the speakers are not very huge
anyway.


No, just the opposite. Spikes will *couple* the 'speakers to the floor,
and consequently any vibrations of the 'speaker cabinet will be
transmitted to the floor, and hence to the people below.



** Speaker cabinets barely vibrate at all - certainly not at the corners.

It is the low frequency **sound pressure** in the room that vibrates the
floor.


You need to isolate the 'speakers from the floor,



** Totally impossible.


whcih you can do with a block of foam rubber, tennis balls, squash balls
etc.



** Utter ******** !!
