Default Isolating speakers from the floor

Has anyone got any experience and suggestions of DIY methods of
isolating speakers from the floor? I'm looking to do it to reduce the
amount of noise transferred through the floor to downstairs, rather
than as a method of altering sound quality.

My Infinity kappa 600 speakers are well isolated by double tiles of
25kg each, so 50kg per speaker and between the tiles are very simple
tabs wich are normaly used for furniture to preserve scratches on the
floor. Gijs


How did you work out or measure the LF turnover point of the above as an
isolation filter, and what value did you get? :-)

Particulary curious to know the spring and loss coefficients of the 'tabs',
and the effective mass/ compliance the floor presents to the things above
it.

Slainte,

Jim
