Townshend Springs under Speakers

Geez, the only way to know is to try them in your own system.  On my suspended wood floor I tried (1) no spikes (2) spikes (3) two inch slabs of flagstone with spikes (4) Herbies large gliders (5) Townshend Podiums.  The Townshend Podiums worked the best (tighter bass, opened the soundstage and more depth, better placement and articulation of instruments).  They are an essential component in my system.  No "boiing" issues.

If you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid.

I do know that using springs on suspended wood floor construction works and I did the experiments.  My thought is that the floor was picking up the vibrations from the speakers and transferring the vibrations throughout the structure.  This caused bloated bass and smearing of the music. 

Those that have concrete floors would need to weigh in on their experience before and after springs. 

Geez, this must be one of the most opinionated posts from people that haven’t tried a product. Buy them, try them and if you don’t like them send them back! No, they don’t boiing, boiing on suspended floors and make matters worse.  If you haven't tried them, your opinion is useless.

The greatest improvement for me was Podiums under the speakers.  I then placed the pods under my tube pre amp replacing the HRS footers.  Speakers first in my opinion.
