I just proposed a similar question to a group of audiophiles who possess
a lot of experience and knowledge. The position I bought into is
that the damped puck style ala Gaia, Isotek etc are the only way to
address all frequencies.
Over or under? - Standmount isolation
On a bare suspended hardwood floor, is it better to place isolation under the stand or between the speaker and stand?
It would seem that under the stand would allow more wobbling.
It also seems like under the stand is more common for isolation.
I know the best way is to try both. Which I will probably end up doing unless there are good reasons for one vs the other.
Also, it looks like under the stand isolation options tend to be more expensive.
Speakers are small. LS50s and Rogers LS3/5As
Stands are 28" tall.
@erik_squires Exactly. Which is why I was curious about seeing them placed below the stands. But if placed below the stands, should the speakers be spiked to the stand? Or additionally isolated? Just rest it directly on the stand? |
