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.

Maybe not, but any vibration that's coupled directly to a presumably
concrete floor will be immediately audible below.

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

Yes, but cabinet vibrations *will* couple to the floor using spikes.


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 ******** !!

Don't use such language with me, young man, or I'll tell your mother!
