Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers


Townshend platforms are clearly excellent, but are there any more affordable alternatives?  I can't drill into the bottom of the speakers.  At the moment, I have the speakers on MDF pieces of wood supported on the corners with rubber/foam/rubber clad pads and really have no complaints, but I know how much SQ improvement I got with Iso-Acoustics GAIA footers under my Spatial Audio speakers, but have no way to mount them on the open bottom of the Jazzon speakers.  Thanks for any suggestions.

I like Townshend isolation products too as the reviews are universally stellar in the improvements they bring, but they’re pricey as you’re aware.  That got me looking into other spring-based products that may provide similar benefits at a more affordable price point and found these.  They can handle up to 50kg (set of 4) so should work for your speakers, they’re adjustable to customize sound to your liking, users seem very happy with them, and a set of 8 is only $50.  At that price I think they’re well worth a try.  Just another option FWIW, and best of luck.

Ha.  Shocked you already have them!  I’d be very interested in your thoughts on how they work with your speakers.  Honestly, the cynical part of me thinks springs kinda work the same way (differing tensions notwithstanding) and that these should capture a good chunk of what the Seismics do.  Then again, the devil’s always in the details and Townshend may well have some secret sauce in there that takes them to another level entirely, albeit at a much dearer price.  Gotta love this hobby.
