Seeking opinions on subwoofer isolation devices

[2gumby2]

I was wondering about the merits of subwoofer isolation devices such as the one in the link below. My subwoofers use the typical spikes, but I'm curious about what benefit subwoofer isolation devices might provide. I have 2-channel music only systems.

Any coupling of sound from any speaker that is transmitted to the floor can interfere with the purity of the sound. If the speakers' cabinet is made properly, that will be a minor issue. I guess the only sure way to find out is to order one with a return policy to your liking and try it. Have fun. Dennis

Elemental designs is also working on a similar product. Drop them a line and you'll probably find their less expensive and better constructed than the Auralex.

I can vouch for the Subdude as a quality product that is effective.

I think it works very well. http://www.stereophile.com/musicinth...itr/index.html

Even better but much bulkier is the ASC Sub Trap: http://www.stereophile.com/musicinth...ic/index1.html

I bought the elemental designs isolation pad for my a2-300. I must say, it has definitely had an effect on the overall sound quality. I don't want to attach numbers, but the output seems to have increased some, the bass has tightened up significantly and I still feel the rumbles (so do my walls). I'd give it a go.
