Depending on how one sets up the system, however, springs can provide isolation in 2 of the 3 rotational directions. Value added! 🤗
The reason compression springs are excellent at isolating moderate to heavy components is because they are very stiff in the horizontal directions, providing much needed lateral support.
Add air suspension, inside the coil and underneath via a cantilever.
The vertical becomes very stable and very isolated, With a single bag for all 4 corners. It can be adjusted with a simple nitrogen charge. Close to zero, harmonics, then. The bag could be centered under the cabinet, henged X 4. Silicone mount the four fulcrum points.
Spring work/help, you just have to dampen them too, along with henge points..
OR
Hang it like a heavy bag on an inverted, spring, they are adjustable too.
