Think about it this way

66.82.9.106

Since you can do what you want without much extra expense in new construction how about having the components and the speakers on separate subfloors. I built a house on a hill. The entry level is 4 feet below the main floor. The entry level was made wider that it needed to be to host the audio gear and the fire place. Both of these face into the living room. Both appear to be at the same level as the living room. There is about a 1/4 inch gap between the standard suspended floor of the living room and the directly supported by the earth section of the mud room, fireplace and equipment. The speakers are spiked on the suspended floor. There is no direct transmission of the floor vibrations to the equipment side. You can dance without moving the turntable.
