I’ve recently moved into a new home and since my passion is JBL, the sound of dramatically changed from common wooden floors that I have been so used to over the years.
Bass is more tighter with less, irritation of vibrations like buzzing and rattling that is often found with loudspeakers, playing different low note tones, at different sound pressure levels, where a loosen floorboard will only, induce a louder tone along with the sound that you’re listening to, whether its straight forward music or film soundtrack, where realism in reproduction is critical.
I know there’s a few members here that I have found to have concrete flooring, richluvsound has those huge JBL 4345 standing on a firm foundation that exhibited a nice solid bass line when I visited his home last July 26th 2007, they were void of any distractions like rattling and buzzing, just the pure sound was heard and felt.
The same thing I noticed with my small JBL control 5 and that huge monstrosity JBL 4645.
So please talk freely about you’re experiences with concrete or wooden.
