In Reply to: RE: Squash balls under speakers? posted by KanedaK on July 23, 2011 at 06:55:21
Squash balls are more air spring isolation, and they will probably contribute to the softening you're experiencing. If you don't want hard coupling, and I can understand why you might not (though you ought to try it cheaply just to be sure), then go over to Herbie's Audio Labs website and take a look as his solutions. In fact, email Steve Herbelin and he'll likely advise you well.

Thanks! looks like Herbie's Big Fat dots would do the trick nicely and they're reasonably priced.
I tried to decouple my speakers from a suspended wood floor using a plywood platform with #5 vibrapods. They decoupled the speakers well enough, but the slight movement of the speakers when they reacted to the sound pressure wave, smeared the sound stage and decreased its size. Herbie's BBDs decoupled the speakers from the floor (no more bass boom from a resonant floor) but maintained the soundstage.
Yes I experienced the same thing with my rubber door-stops: it's too flexible, hence the speakers move back and forth and it reduces attack and smears the stereo image.
The Giant Fat Gliders did the trick with my Infinity RSIIb speakers. They decoupled the vibrations well, without losing the soundstage, and make these large speakers much easier to move around for placement optimization (and the occasional cleaning!). I affixed them to the bottom of the speakers with Amazing Goop.
I use them with good results
