Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product


Hello to everyone who is being held hostage by this Covid 19 demon......I hope everybody is well and staying safe and being smart. I have been reading about this product and would like to hear from current owners or members who looked at them and didn't buy or have sold them. I would like to hear from you as I would be purchasing them for my Wilson Benesh Square 5's and they would be going over a suspended hard wood floor. Thank you in advance.

@garebear  I have a pair of Townshend's Seismic Isolation Podiums.

I'm not sure how to interpret your sentence / request:

I ... would like to hear from current owners or members who looked at them and didn't buy or have sold them.

Can you clarify? 
@garebear   Got it. Thanks.

In my case (due to my speakers) the application of and results from the Podiums is more complicated / difficult to transpose to what I'd expect from 'standard' speakers.

I believe this also applies to your speakers:

That ‘plinth’ it rests on is in fact a high-mass chamber for a down-firing, isobaric-loaded pair of 170mm Tactic drive units (WB’s own design).

Since the base of your speakers is of a 'specialized' design and they are down-firing, I recommend reaching out to Townshend and Wilson Benesch for guidance. 

Both companies are England based so there are bound to be local owners of the Square 5's that are using Townshend Podiums.
