Haven't tried bars but they are all the same basic technology, the precision-damped spring. It is in a way just like everything else, just another attempt at isolation. But Townshend does it so well when you put a component on there it is not like it gets a little better, it is more like a significant component upgrade. Not a little better, a whole new thing. Really. Which is hard for a lot of people to believe, but true, and I only wish more people knew. So thanks for sharing.
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!
OK, I have elevated my belief in isolation. For the first time I feel I have entered the Hi Fidelity zone. About 3 weeks ago I purchased the Townshend Speaker Bars. My muddy bass cleaned up, I have better imaging, clarity, precision, speed and focus. My buddy who is not not into HiFi but has followed my adventures, was blown away. He said, "OK, now I get why you do this." Best money spent!
Denon DL160 (re-tipped by Soundsmith) > Thorens TD150 > McIntosh 8900 > ALK Extreme Slope in Klipsch Belles. Just another step in the long journey, but a Giant Step for my enjoyment. My system took a large enough step forward that I am drawn into listening to all of my 2K plus albums again just to enjoy them in a new way. Great people to deal with too, even with Brexit messing things up. Highly recommended!
I am not associated with them in any way, just want to pass it on.
