I have an M3, A6 and now a bronze M5.

Im very happy with all, but need advice on how to further reduce bass on the M5. 

Sitting on my wooden sideboard, depending on the music selected (and at the lowest bass setting), it still vibrates many surrounding objects.

 

Besides placing it on concrete or marble table  - any suggestions on what I can do?

Sitting on foam ? Rubber ? are there any floor or wall mounts that anyone can recommend?

thanks for your quick response, I will try the corner position setting and your suggestions of repositioning the M5 away from the wall.

There is little chance of any 'ugly' securing of objects (or the M5) getting past the boss.

My M5 has been banned to the workshop and sits on the concrete floor. Even so I sometimes find it too “boomy”.

But it does depend on the type of music played I guess.

I have changed the settings to 'corner', moved it to a clearer location (without as many other items around it) and its definitely better. 

Thanks all for your help and suggestions.
