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.

Way less expensive than the Townshend options (bars or pods or platforms).

Spring support doesn't need to cost a lot of money, but you have to get the sizing right.  You could also try EVPs, which can also be DIY'ed with Owens Corning 703-705.

I have no idea in what way your current speakers don't do what you would like them to do but I would suggest trying isolation of some sort to get an idea of what the Podiums can do for a speaker. I have Linn Akurate speakers and I was as happy with them as any of us are after living with a speaker for a while but I will tell you that the Podiums really had the effect you might expect from upgrading the speaker. Keeping the old or buying new speaks you really might want to try isolating them - to me and apparently others, isolation makes a considerable improvement.

 

I have Legacy Aeris speakers on the podiums and thought the improvements were worth the expense. Better imaging, more space around the notes, and also eliminated some resonance. Let your ears decide what is best for you and your room!
