IMO, putting sandbags on top of the XO box is entirely a different tweak from what Neo was talking about ... which is to isolate the XO box from the floor??

In your example, you are damping the vibrations of the XO case top. This is a known good tweak for many component cases - and even speaker cabinets.

Neo is talking about preventing vibrations generated in the floor from entering the XO box and disturbing the components inside. These vibrations get into the floor from the panel feet ... as the panels are being caused to vibrate by the mylar flapping.

Isolating the crossover from vibrations by the speaker never hurts. nt - neolith 08:35:30 02/09/12 (5)

Well I certainly agree with "the move from panels to floor should be a significant improvement". nt - andyr 13:22:45 02/10/12 (0)
