    These anecdotes are immense, up there with the best I've heard. Brilliant.

    Anyone tried these things under floor standing speakers? Good reviews but by people using them for all sorts of different reasons......

    Were you playing that avant-garde music again?

    I've got some speakers sat on a brick plinth. It has a pretty solid plywood lid but is a void beneath which can be used for storage. This caused some boominess. I made 2 sandwiches of corrugated cardboard and bubble wrap (the big bubble version),put one under each speaker, works perfectly and cost me nothing.

    Those pucks look very interesting, and are affordable.

    I was thinking about a company called Cloud 9, they make isolation platforms for record players. The concept is they have a board, plywood or particle board, with round dimples in it. Then they put small rubber balls in those dimples and a top board over them, with the parameter having an overlapping band to keep the motion strictly up and down. Perhaps a larger version could be made, using hand balls, or some such rubber ball 50 to 70mm or so? Nothing too soft like tennis balls, one could experiment with different types of balls to find the ones with the best resonant frequency?

    It may be hard to tell exactly what you have accomplished if you can’t go downstairs to listen. Perhaps if you explain to them you are trying to invent something to help them, they will be on board to help?
