sounds like it doesn't make a difference whether you do or not then!

what are you using to isolate with and what kind of floor is it on?

mine is forward firing PB10 and sounds so much better isolated. I have 50mm thick granite slab on the floor and 12mm MDF platform with vibropods fitted. The sub sits on top. Not only does it sounds so much better in the listening room it also stops the booming noise which travels round the house to all other rooms too.
