As a long time user ,since 1983, of Quad electrostats and Magnepan speakers with a Linn LP12 front end right up to 2001.
I never had to deal with sound pressure levels , foot falls yes.
Back then ,the Linn was one of the best tables you could buy on the planet.
A wall mount shelf was a must with suspended floors.
Back in the day resonant devices were in their infancy, remember Mod Squad tip toe's? I used them under my speakers and table to good effect.
By the mid 1980s I had added a home made sand box platform to the wall shelf,a idea thats been around for a long time.
This improved the music on the neutral side of things, easily heard through the Quads.
Vocals were even more life like to my delight.
A myriad of active variables are at play with in a system and room.
Taming resonates is just one of many that should be addressed which can have huge sonic pay offs.
Whether its a home made box with sand in it or a $20,000 plus turntable platform.
Experiment ,what ever works for you and your budget.
