Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums


I am aware that there are people here who use Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums below the speakers. I am interested to know the cost (RRP) of the speakers which are supported by the Podiums. I’m not sure if my speakers deserve the Podiums but they are in my wish list should I decide to upgrade something in my system in the near future.

Any input would be appreciated.

I use the original version of the Podiums, called Speaker Cradles, under Nola Micro References originally listed for around $14-15K.  I agree with others, the cost of the speakers is irrelevant, I'd say most speakers would benefit from them regardless of cost.

Something unnerving about a speaker swinging like a pendulum when you touch it, IMO. Vandersteen's don't need things like that.

 

Don't sweat the cost of the speakers. Mine were virtually free. The previous owner wanted to give them a good home. I have built my system around these speakers to see how much I could get out of them (Belle Klipsch 1978ish).

The Townsend "bars" (they were too big to afford podiums) was the best investment I made for the money. The new crossover helped too, but more expensive.

Go for it!!! Try the bars if you don't want to spring for the podiums.
