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.

Perhaps use your ears?  What does a meter tell you anyway?

Currently Cube Nenuphar’s and Nenuphar Mini’s but I think most speakers at a lesser cost would benefit. Components as well on similar or use cups/balls/slate/spring DIY. See Barry Diament document.

Wilson Sasha 2s on concrete. Sitting 210 pounds of speaker (who's designers pained over resonances) on springs went against everything I thought I knew about isolation, but my ears told me that I should keep the Podiums.

I went from Gaia footers to the Townshend podiums. My speakers are on an upstairs suspended wood floor. The improvements were not subtle, especially the low end. I put the Gaia footers under my amp stands.
