Here's my latest hallucination :
So I'm sitting there listening and sucking down a beer, when, à propos de rien, it comes to me; more on how to neutralize a suspended floor.
After shoring it up with screw jacks (which btw, would make excellent scratching posts), you simply build up a little damm at each entry to the room, and then... Dump and spread about 4 inches of sand on the floor! I'm dead serious.
Apart from the quality it would impart to the sound of the room, it would make for a really cool environment. Not only could you sink your toes, you could sink all cables. Koshka would love it! The pattern that would be the natural result of walking around, would act as a very effective diffuser. Cleanup would be easy; just grab a big rake and smooth things out now and then! Get an elevated brush mat for the entry so as to not track sand around the rest of the house. http://www.conranusa.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=310&cid=Gardeners&language=en-US
You'd of course also want to glide arond in a pair of huaraches or baboosh slippers!
