Townshend Springs under Speakers


I was very interested, especially with all the talk.   I brought the subject up on the Vandersteen forum site, and Richard Vandersteen himself weighed in.   As with everything, nothing is perfect in all circumstances.  If the floor is wobbly, springs can work, if the speaker is on solid ground, 3 spikes is preferred.

" Problem is, one doesn’t receive replies, or the communication is spotty.

Also, pricing is considerably more favorable through John Hannant, who advertises on Audiogon and E-Bay "

Okay, didn’t know that tvad when I posted the link to EAR
There is always the Beauty and the Beast that exists in any audio room such from the member who builds his own rack and grossly overdamps with 400lbs of sand mixed with mineral oil..plus lead shot.. Nothing can launch or be expressed as music when placed in or on a dead weight like that. Tom
The floor in my listening room is ceramic tile on a a 6” concrete base.  It’s basically bomb proof.  I placed the Townsends under my Avantgarde UNO’s and was rewarded with a huge improvement in sound.  Having had the experience I have, I would say that the type of floor has nothing to do with the sound improvement from the Townsends.  BTW I was so impressed with the performance of the Townsends under my speakers, I went out and bought for my amps and equipment rack.  Some improvement but nowhere near what I heard by putting them under the speakers.
