Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room?

Won't you lose all bass by decoupling either the speakers or listener?
I saw an A'goner a few years ago decoupled his amps by hanging them with wires to avoid and issues. It worked great until one monoblock dropped 2 feet to the floor...

Pedrillo: OK. So why doesn't Bobby suggest such a setup in the owners manual? Sonically, what are the differences vs. setting the speakers up as Bobby recommends?

This is what the Z-Feet accomplish:

I'm using Stillpoints and to me, I think they sound a ton better than the Piega spikes. Tighter bass, more solid image, clearer midrange.

9rw,
To me the bass becomes cleaner, tighter more distinct. The speaker seems to vanish. They sound incredible this way. I haven't heard my vsm's on the floor in awhile and there have been alot of changes at my source so I will revisit the comparisons some day. This suspension started as an effort to lessen any disturbance to my downstairs neighbor and as a side benefit I got a sound I am really happy with. I probably will make a ton of changes in the future always trying to improve on things, one thing I will most defenitely do is try the vsm's on the floor and will gladly report the winner, who knows maybe I was wrong all this time. The journey is what really counts.
