I read this with equal wonder and doubt, lol. So I planned on getting a slab of it and measuring it myself.
I have not measured it but it certainly 'feels' like it's gone from under my feet and the 'boom' is gone. The subs now do what they're intended for.I read this with equal wonder and doubt, lol. So I planned on getting a slab of it and measuring it myself.
I believe this Pete. But I believe it raised the offensive resonance frequency above the subs output most likely, due to it's hardness. That would work for subs, but move the resonance up into the mids and highs of a full range speaker.
Right. But that covers the frequencies of interest over the entire spectrum I would think because what's left is not able to excite structure.
Air born and floor borne vibrations, as well as vibrations of the earth go right up into the speaker cabinets. How to make these disappear? Go the other way with the FR, and make it go down to zero hz. Then no matter what is happening in the room, the cabinet is not affected with vibrations.
I'm trying to kill vibrations both from the speaker to the structure, as well as the structure and air borne to the speaker cabinets, via the same suspension idea.

You're not going to stop air borne vibration at all by treating the speakers. Yes, take it to zero hz...silence, no more vibration.🙂
Methods to stop the speakers vibrating are well established.

Yes you can sir. If the airborne vibrations hit the speaker cabinets, and the energy from that drains to zero on zero hz suspension, those vibrations will not resonate back and forth on the cabinet. So you do reduce those vibrations effects as well.
Once again, this can be measured by placing your phone on top of any surface and measuring the level of vibrations when music is playing. Now suspend that surface, give the vibrations a path to dissipate , and measure it.

Oh, sorry. So you want to stop reflections from affecting the speaker cabinets. How audible do you think they are? What about that affect on the drivers themselves? Would that not be more significant? It's probably the difference between playing them outdoors vs in, no?
