SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?

dtximages OP
@geoffkait then how do you explain significantly less db at 20hz - 80 hz? That’s not "better" it’s just quieter. So of course there’s less perceived boominess and distortion.

>>>>I prefer not to try to explain things that don’t make sense. What would be the point?

my experience soft vs rigid is similar to the video.  the best sound achieved on my carpet over concrete floor is when the spikes pierce the carpet and make contact with the solid floor, speakers and subwoofer.  

I already explained why carpets are bad Gnus. 🐃 🐃 Besides, this discussion is really about isolation vs spiked or soft, not spiked vs soft. If the SVD isolation feet are some kind of rubber they aren’t providing real isolation, anyway. A lot of companys call their feet isolation feet but they are really dampers of some sort. What I call real isolation is mass on spring devices, you know, air springs, air bladders, even squash balls, inner tubes, but especially steel springs. So, in that light I’m not surprised by the YouTube test. I would not say SVS are comparable to real isolation devices. Get real.

I think some people are too smart for their own good and too dumb to know it.  

1. The SVS Isolation feet are basically the same as squash balls or any other type of rubber device that limits the transmission of energy into the floor.  

2. This conversation is NOT about spikes, it's about isolation feet in a sealed sub on a slab floor and its effect... Detrimental to output?  If so, do the positives outweigh the negative of less output?.. No theoretical bs about layers of quartz rocks.

3. Can you block someone from posting on a thread?  

4. If I told geoffkait he's the smartest person in the room and gave him a cookie would he go away?  

"No theoretical bs about layers of quartz rocks."

I believe that already morphed from theory to practice.

"...and gave him a cookie..."
