In Reply to: In a dedicated room, is a floating floor the norm? posted by howard on May 7, 2007 at 11:18:11:
.....compliment the floor.i do think it is ideal to start with a concrete floor. then when you are choosing isolation devices they will have a predicable bass to work with.
if the floor flexes then that will need to be factored into the other gear interfaces and the results will be less predictable.
one issue with a concrete floor is that the bass will reflect more strongly off it than a flexible wood floor. this is manageable thru various means but it does need to be dealt with.
it is illustrative that the ideal setup for an electron microscope is for ground floor with a concrete slab. otherwise the flex in the floor will compromise the performance. isolation devices have the best performance when they work with the most predictable bass......a concrete floor. a wooden floor will always compromise isolation.
music reproduction gear has the same challenges as the electron microscope.
