Magico Pods vs Townshend Seismic Platforms


I have a pair of Magico A5 loudspeakers fitted with Magico’s A-pods. Many here on Audiogon sing the praises of Townshend’s Seismic Platforms. Has anyone A/B compared the two products, particularly using A5 speakers?

Being a "hard" interface, the Magicos won’t touch low frequencies

@mulveling Having been down a bit of a rabbit hole based on another thread recently, I couldn’t agree more. These look very nice and expensive. But I cannot see how from an engineering perspective they are going to improve the sound of any pair of speakers. The might change the sound, but that is another topic. Any potential vibration attenuation will occur as best I can tell at frequencies that will not benefit a speaker, as this is really needed in the lowest frequencies. And as @sargonicuse pointed out in the linked article, spikes are not isolation devices.
