Speakers: Isolation?

Guys,

I’m trying to figure out the best method for setting down my stand mount speakers.

Currently I have a pair of hollow wooden cabinet stands ordered to measurement from eBay. These are pretty lightweight and do not use dense wood. They are laying atop thick butcher blocks acting as pliniths which are on a set of Mapleshade carpet heavyfooters (spiked). What’s the best way to effectively mount my speakers onto the stands?

Did you mean isolation effectiveness is inversely proportional to spring rate? Effectiveness goes up as Fr goes down, yes?

That’s why it’s a good idea to minimize the number of springs and maximize the mass. Since isolation effectiveness is inversely proportional to the Fr.

@jtsnead those look brilliant. What an elegant, simple design. Especially if they work well.

Well, to be fair, the idea is not original and you can’t see them under the speakers anyway.
