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.


Simple, my neighbours do not complaint anymore...... So, it works. Gijs


So they may have either decided it would be a waste of time to go on
objecting, or your music is so loud you can't hear them knocking on your
door? :-)

Slainte,

Jim
