In Reply to: Re: Concrete floor and stereo listening room-- Answers please ... posted by Aristée on January 13, 2006 at 16:52:16:
I'm not an acoustics expert, just someone who happens to have a music/HT setup on a concrete floor.The bass from my subwoofer is tight, and seamless with the output of my main front speakers. I just have the usual padding and carpeting; carpeting is one of the polyester-types also used for commercial purposes.
This may help u decide: when I first setup the subs, I used the DVE test sweeps and discovered there were rattles and buzzing sounds in the room at specific frequencies. I tracked down and fixed each one by careful listening and use of weatherstripping and felt pads to isolate the vibrating surfaces. Several rattles were related to the windows, but there was a persistent buzzing from one of the walls next to a utility room. The cause was vibration between several wall studs and the drywall, which I managed to fix by stuffing vinyl weatherstripping in the gaps and sealing with a lot of sprayed foam.
From this experience, in my Very Humble opinion, you'd be better off with the solid, concrete floor than a sub-floor or platform with nailed boards that could vibrate, work loose, etc. I would not want to have to troubleshoot a floor vibration problem. And a good sub will produce enough SPL to energize all these room resonances.
Hope that helps.
Now if an expert could help with my diffusion ceiling, that would be great!
