Hi,

I have a pretty resonant wooden floor and want to isolate my speakers (B&W CDM2) from a stand and the stand from the floor. I'm looking for materials that are, preferably, locally available and don't cost the earth.

Sorbothane seems to come recommend quite often, but only seems readily available from overseas, and even before import costs is quite pricey, e.g. Amazon.com

Ofc, any rubbery material would offer some degree of isolation, but does anyone have practical knowledge of what locally available things might work well?

Some things I'm considering:
Any other good ideas or, even better, practical experience? Or should I just suck it up and save for Sorbothane ;-)
