🤯 Legacy Audio Calibre XD humming + no low ends & boxy sounding
Maybe the amps inside the speakers are the problem.

@buellrider97  I do think the Townsend Podiums can be an improvement but I think the amount of improvement is very speaker dependent. Especially on concrete which is really pretty stable. In the Townsend video it seems obvious to me that the floo...

@lemonhaze  What is the .01db ? Cabinet resonance ? If so I’m not talking about that I am talking about if the cabinet is allowed to move on the podium will it affect the drivers ability to properly produce the notes.

@yyzsantabarbara  Since the speaker is coupled to the podium I don’t see how it can’t move in sync with the podium. It is possible I guess that the top of the speaker might move less than the bottom of the speaker which is closest to the podiums....

@yyzsantabarbara  If the speakers are directly on the podiums they should have been vibrating the same as the podiums.

Also how can we know the platforms don’t alter the pistonic movement of the drivers thus altering the sound?

Trying to understand the Townsend podiums better I wonder how many here have actually measured how much their speakers are resonating. I would want to know that going in I think. Also why wouldn’t speaker vibrations dissipate in a concrete floor ?...

@ghdprentice  Please let us know if you think the podiums are worth the investment.

@hilde45  What was the measurement you took? It sounds like a test I would like to try.

I think the 2 major factors in deciding whether to use footers or not are of course the type of floor you are on and the speakers themselves. A suspended wood floor would definitely require footers of some type regardless of speaker used. On a con...
