Vandersteens on wood floors... couple or isolate

I got excellent isolation and resonance control with a rig similar to Tbg's last suggestion. Placed Vibrapods on the floor, a maple cutting board on top of that, then the spiked speakers on top of the board. Worked like a dream with increased dynamics and clarity. Got the chopping board at Bed, Bath & Beyond for about $20/each. I found that the wood worked better than granite. A cheaper, and better, alternative to the Vibrapods are V-Pads available from your local Heating and Air Conditioning supplier. They're about @$2.50 and you need 4 for each speaker under the board. V-pads are 4"x4" pads of about 1/2" of cork sandwhiched between two layers of ribbed rubber.

I think the resonant frequency of the wood would be much higher given the lower mass of the wood.

Thanks for your input! Right now, the sound anchors are sitting directly on the wood floor. I've found this preferable to placing vibrapods (3 each) under the anchors. However, the bass and lower-mids seem to move everything in the room! Jgiacalo... maybe I'll try your approach.

Thanks again, guys!

Cdm, which model do you have? Have you tried them without the sound anchors?

2Ce Signatures... no, I've not tried them without the anchors. Do you suggest it?
