| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! sokogear,I'm getting the Townshend product, not the Symposium, so I'm not in conversation with Peter. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Thanks millercarbon. I'm familiar with what you are talking about, having experimented with the other spring footers. I know the Townshend are stiffer, but the Thiels were stable enough even sitting directly atop those springs.The Joseph speake... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Well boys I've joined the club!Just ordered some Townshend Isolation Bars for my speakers.I'll be using them with my Thiel 2.7 and Joseph Audio Perspective speakers.The Thiels have a wider body and are very stable, but I am wondering how I'll go a... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I’m saving up some money, selling some gear, will either put it towards upgrading my Joseph Perspectives or a pair of Devore O/96. (Keeping the Perspectives) | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! BTW, for the heck of it I tried the Nobsound-like spring footers under my tube amps.Zero impact on the sound. Which makes sense to me. If they were going to pick up any vibrations it would likely happen if placed in the room with the speakers. ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Ah, I see you were assuming speaker spikes. Makes sense.I don't use speaker spikes - speakers sit right on the floor, as I preferred the sound that way. So I'm looking to keep the speakers as close to the floor as I can to maintain that tonal ba... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Yes furniture sliders or herbies could be the ticket. Though one of the advantages of the Townshend design is not raising your speaker up much at all, so as not to change the tonal balance. | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! As mentioned, I'll be getting the speaker bars. Though this will be on a shag rug, so I'm not sure how that will affect things.On the current footer springs, I'm sure some of what I'm hearing is due to decoupling the speakers from the floors. Th... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! BTW, you know how we audiophiles like to sit around dreaming about certain gear combinations?I've had one on my mind for a while: Devore O/96 speakers combined with Townshend pods.The reason is: I love the big, rich, alive organic sound of those... | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? As a long time MBL groupie (and I owned the MBL 121s), the MBL 101 X-treme were on my list. And I actually happened upon a private demowhen visiting the USA - a dealer had them set up in a big room.They were a total gas to listen to, though I don... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Good feedback! | |
| Vivid Audio Speakers I don't mean they can't sound fantastic.I remember being attracted in to a room at an AV show due to the amazingly "live" sound of a horn-based band track playing in the room...to find the vivid speakers playing.I've also heard tracks like Genesis... | |
| Vivid Audio Speakers I've heard the big Giya speakers at shows, listened to the Oval speakers at a dealer, and listened several times to the Kaya at a friend's place.They are indeed "vivid." Super transparent, detailed and sky high airy high end. Everything sounds ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! That's very encouraging millercarbon.The thing is I had recently tweaked my speaker/listening position and had arrived at a new level of awe-inspiring imaging and solidity to the sound. As I said, any steps backwards are hard to swallow. But I... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! I just put the spring footers under my Thiel speakers again (like the Nobsound, but a different brand which has the springs actually fixed, not loose).Absolutely stunning, yet again, in many ways. The changes it registers among the entire frequen... |
