- Nice speakers. I have Townsend Seismic Podiums under my Tekton DI’s. I’m running size 3 with the appropriate pods for my speaker weight. They were $1600 delivered from England. It took 3 1/2 weeks from purchase to delivery. Support was outstanding and I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with the SQ improvement. Given other items I’d look at Stax Auva 100’s and Tought Nut products. With the metal bases I would definitely solicit info from those two companies about incorporating the stand into the equation. When I contacted Tough Nut regarding my speakers they steered me to the cylinders over the Nuts do to the size and height of my cabinets. Soberthane pads might be good with cylinders or footers. I was initially put off by the cost of the Townsends but after a long running post I went with the Townsends as they were the highest recommended item, but also the most expensive. Maybe read my resent post and look through the responses, it has a lot of info. Happy Hunting and please PM me for any additional info, Mike B.
Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A
I just purchased a used pair of ATC 100A speakers, and they come with the manufacturer’s iron OEM stands. On my current pair of ATC 40 towers, I’m using Herbie’s threaded Stud Glider footers for decoupling.
I’m considering using the Stud Gliders with the 100s, tapping thread holes into the stand bottoms, and perhaps also employing sorbothane pads where the speakers contact the stands.
Does that sound like a reasonable approach? Or would there be an alternate way to use the Herbie’s footers? Any advice welcome.
Thanks,
JAMES
