I even tried springs because some people here think that they are the ultimate isolation medium- capable of isolation below 5 hz I was told. No. Loss of bass definition
>>>I actually don’t believe you. Springs would only work directly under relatively lightweight speakers due to center of gravity issue. And you would have had to match the spring rates to the load which I doubt you did. For speakers you don’t need to get down below 5 Hz because the speakers don’t produce any frequencies below 20 Hz. The objectives of speaker isolation are different than for components - for speakers you’re preventing mechanical feedback. If you tried to achieve a Fr of 3 Hz for speakers the springs would have to be so “floppy“ the speakers would fall over. And if the springs are too stiff they won’t isolate effectively. I suggest we write this off as operator error.
