Vibration isolation or absorption?

I bought my speakers and set them up. The basement floor was not flat so the speaker could actually rock. They only came with furniture tips that are just driven into the wood.  I didn’t know much. The isolation topic was very common here and usually contentious. I went the cheap route. I bought 16 of the Audiokrast springs. Wallah! They are self leveling. The improvements from the isolation springs was very positive. Cost $120 for all.

All other components are sitting on Herbie’s products.

My audio stand is on spikes sitting in disc’s. I have not looked into anything else. I don’t like swapping parts or components all the time and the sound is nice.

How about sandbags? They are cheap and anyone who has taken a long walk on the beach knows that sand is very good at absorbing energy.

We've all been here before.  Over and over.  Look at old threads.

Basically.....

Concrete floor, especially laid on the ground - spikes

Suspended wood floors and most everyrhing else - decoupling.

From Clearthinker, above, it appears that I may have stumbled onto something correct, for a change. My audio space is on a slab, with carpeting over it. My speaker stands are connected to the floor via spikes, without any saucers. My speakers sit on small nylon isolation feet, mostly to protect the finish, but it appears they may help decouple the speakers, a bit. I find that this spike/squishie system works great until at higher volume my room acoustics screws everything up.
