Seems to me there is not only not a single "this is the method" answer but no single product that is a one size fits all all acoustic isolation method unless you attack it from all sides .

Vibrations from the home itself,vibrations caused by the loudspeakers hiting large flat surfaces setting up a vibration and finally vibrations generated internally by electro-mechanical sources (and souce with a motor or other moving parts).a damn tall order and all with different requirements though if i have learned anything from tinkering over the years it is that you never want two "like" surfaces to be in direct contact unless the poitn of conact is so small there is not enough area to transmit the vibration to the next "thing" so "hard" does not like to go to "hard" and soft does not work against another soft surface but if you alternate materials,each having a totally different speed of vibration-hard-soft-had-they will usually cancel out instead of passing the problem along to the next guy in line.

If you think of how smooth a ride you can get in a car even on the bumpiest of roads it is the hard road/rubber tire/oild damped shock and or teflon bushings THEN another hard surface but with a lot of "mass",the frame,the part everything is bolted to and will move as one except for one thing-the seats you sit on.They may be bolted to the chassis but there is a damn lot of "squishy" in between your ass and the metal frame

same deal with audio Coupling/decoupling ;)
