These washers perform better in the vibration area if they are installed on a concrete floor. A wooden floor , no matter how well its reinforced will still not be enough to stop the vibrations you describe here. I have my machines on a concrete floor and have zero vibrations ...then again I dont have a Speed Queen...

Are you washing mixed loads, or similar items, ie jeans, towels, sheets? |

Just a thought, did you screw the plywood panel firmly to the existing floor joists? |

These are not the quietest machines but we have had darn few complaints about vibration in the last 4-5 years that the redesigned machine has been out.
I did a warranty service call on a new set installed in a 2nd floor laundry about 8 months ago where the customer had a weak floor [ the SQ dryer sitting next to the washer was moving more than the washer ] I leveled the washer better, set the lock nuts on the feet and installed four sticky over sized foot pads [ From SQ ] and have had no complaint since.
In general wash pretty full loads and don't worry about some noise, if you still are not happy have factory service look at it to be sure there is nothing wrong, but the machine is not going to hurt itself in general, this washer is the most often used washers in hundreds of condo and apartment buildings in the DC area and I have seen no problems with the suspension or failures.
