I think this is indeed the wrong asylum for me. I use my head too much. I need proof sometimes. If you want to be credible sometimes you need more proof than "because I said so", There are a couple big holes in the vibration theory. 1) some people (including me) do not listen to music loud enough for vibration to be a problem 2) the biggest problem area hasn't been addressed...that is the wiring inside the cabinet between the crossover and drivers. 3) I am a retired builder. If you were really into vibrations, it would be easy before sheet rocking to dampen the wiring and walls (with insulation) but I have not heard of anyone doing that. And each electrical box is nailed to a solid stud and mostly free of the sheetrock. And I am sure buying an area rug is cheaper, more effective and an easier way to dampen things.
Good luck to you all. I still believe the best things to improve sound systems is to buy quality gear to start with and position it correctly in the room. The one "tweak" I believe in is a voltage stabilizer if voltage is a problem.
