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

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

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,

More likely prolonged exposure to his music has made them deaf too.
