SOLVED: Room boom


I have raised wood floors and VSA Ultra 55's (active edition) with Critical Mass footers. Tracks like Boz Scaggs' Thanks To You would cause the floors to physically vibrate so much I could feel it through the frame of my listening chair even with the VSA bass gain to lowest setting.

TL;DR I added these these $30 vibration pads under the CM footers and they totally cleared the vibrations: https://a.co/d/fvC3av5. I'm also getting better general depth & clarity.

Great to hear you found something that worked for you.

I had the same issue with my KEF Reference 5’s on my oak, tongue and groove floor. I bought some Isoacoustics Gaia ones and they helped a lot, but I still had some issues.  I went to a company that makes granite countertops and had them cut a couple of pieces to a size that fit under the KEF’s and it solved 99% of the vibrations. 
 

 

It's interesting.  Going from an old entertainment center to a solid component rack made an obvious audible improvement!.
