Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
Do you really think people are going to spend that kind of money on room treatments when they balk at spending 10K on a whole system?

@jayctoy  I have the audio art pc's.  They were the version before they revised their lineup.  They were called the statement with the Furutech F1-28 plugs.  They were in the $400 range and compared very well to a higher priced ($1,000) PC.  I am ... 
Any Vienna acoustics love out there? Anyone even still using them?
I have the VA Liszt.  I find that they have an organic sound that is detailed but if you are looking for a highly resolving speaker, this isn't it.  I listened to about 10 different speakers before I settled on these.  They are very "musical" espe...

Townshend Springs under Speakers
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 ... 
Experience with HFTs
I use the HFT's with some bass corner traps, acoustic panels and diffusers.  You can view it on my virtual system. 
Recommended products for polishing Focal speakers
I had some focal utopia speakers that had a black gloss finish and they had some swirl marks.  I would only use a very fine microfiber cloth that is used for eye glasses.  I believe some of the higher end auto polishes that have some anti swirl pr... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
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...

If you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid. 
Helping a friend build a new system
I will throw in a wild card speaker.  What about the Watkins gen 4 stand mount?  Always excellent reviews, and seems to punch way above it's price class.  Wish I could hear a pair.

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 t... 
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend!
I compared the gliders to the podiums and agree with millercarbon.
