I've been experimenting recently with isolation products. Namely isolation platforms from Pyle (akin to Auralex).
My listening room has a suspended floor with lounge underneath it. Speakers are 42kg each.
Now for the best part. I'm mostly interested in acoustically measured differences. This way I can objectively state whether there's been any change. This is the only way I can tell if these products actually do something.
I've measured speakers individually. Left channel is closer to the middle of the room. Right closer to side wall. Left channel was supposed to be the only channel I measured as expected the results to be replicated in another channel.
Measurements were taken with REW at two volume levels and each length of sweep. Without isolation, with, with isolation and mic position raised, with mic position raised and timbre boards to mitigate speaker being raised. All resulting in approximately 40-or so individual sweeps.
The results were most interesting.
