I have tall thin speakers and also was nervous about the instability created with the Townshend bars/springs (I do use their platform under my turntable with excellent results). I put flat multilayer Symposium Segue Stealth platforms (custom sized) under my speakers which added a little stability (or at least didn't decrease it from the spikes/discs that came with the speakers) but more importantly improved the sound by removing the internal speaker vibration to the floor. It clarified the sound and the result was more noticeable than I expected, and kept the tweeter height the same. Supposedly these work really well with a suspended wood floor which I have. Way less expensive than the Townshend options (bars or pods or platforms).
The improvement of anything you do depends heavily on your floor, environment, and speakers.
