Terrible Booms

Hi everyone, I'm sad because I really tried everything (marble base, Gaia isoacoustic, anti-seismic bases, etc.)) but my speakers (ProAc D40R) in my environment (suspended parquet - with voids below) creates terrible booms . I managed to get a good compromise (tube traps and panels) but it's not as I would like. Maybe I should take small speakers, or in a closed box. The fact is that I like my speakers and I don't feel like changing them.

What size is your listening room? What source component are you using? You will not find many sealed speakers. You might be better off with a good LS3/5A type of speaker. BTW, my friend has those Proacs with a JL Audio subwoofer in a large room and there is no booming problem!!

IMO, that size room is too small for those Proacs. You would be better off with a smaller monitor type speaker!
