What tips could be utilized in reducing whatever negatives a suspended floor supposedly imparts? The best audio system I know of and consider a reference is located on a suspended floor so they can't be that bad (if they are I really don't care b/c it's a moot point - I am building up). I'd want to make it better since I'd have the luxury from starting from scratch and incorporating any ideas in the original construction.Was thinking perhaps a couple extra pilings/supports in the middle of the room would tighten things up (not sure if tightening up the floor I what I even need to do though). Extra cross braces between the main floor joists? I do recall an installation whereby the owner had two cement columns poured up to the interior floor level to set the speakers on. Might be too extreme, maybe not?
