| Townshend Springs under Speakers benzman, will be interested to hear your thoughts on adding the pods to your other equipment. I'm continuing to enjoy what the podiums have brought to my setup - the layering and greater depth perspective along with the greater image palpability a... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Actually if you follow track and field you'd find that the springiness of insoles is controversial and has to be carefully governed to prevent athletes gaining an unfair advantage. Some consider the spring provided by current shoes to be already ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Your speakers fit perfect!!Yes, that was fortuitous - the bottom plinth of the SCM100 tower is 427mm wide and the size 4 Podium is 430mm, so a nice fit.I'll check out the Pat Metheny album. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Oh.....jollygreen was serious??.....I thought he was taking the piss. Wow. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers @jollygreenaudiophile2, you're a bit late to the party.As posted earlier by @nonoise this guy would probably be able to explain better:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW2LvQUcwqc | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Man...this thing is still being discussed....wow...if you needed springs, I would think the speaker manufacturer would have provided them or somehow implemented them into the design. Still ain't putting slinkies under mine. My tannoys sound great ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! My Podiums arrived and I installed them last night.Interestingly one of the first things I noticed was the greater depth perspective and placement of performers/instruments in depth and in relation to each other. Probably the most important improv... | |
| Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5 Looking at the graphs in the BBC paper there doesn't appear to be any advantage to using the slot for the bass driver when utilised in the 3-way design(?).Hard to tell from the graphs if there is much advantage to using the mid-slot either. Anyway... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Nearly every other dealer on this forum has the class, business ethic, and decency to make full disclosure on products they support with a business relationship.Assuming this is fact, what if the dealer opportunity came up recently? I mean it's ha... | |
| Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5 Haven't heard, but interested in what responses you get.I'm drawn to the looks of those slotted apertures on the LS5/5 and wonder if the theory behind them works(?).Though I'm not in the market for another speaker the LS5/5 is weirdly desirable to... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers @rixthetrick They are Vicoustic DC2 diffusers.Many hfi shops and outlets stock them.The ceiling mounted diffusers made a surprising improvement. Not exactly great aesthetically, but luckily my wife lets me (mostly) do as I please with that room.@t... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Also odd non Vandersteen owners take issue with his listening and measurements…of springs… all are free to listen and decide for themselves…If you're refering to me, for the record I have no issue with Vandersteen's listening or measurements.I hav... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers OK… What is ASR?Do you recommend it?Audio Science Review. A forum where only measurements are considered and subjective opinion is pretty much ridiculed and shouted down.Personally I think it is useful for the measurements - some of which I've fou... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers And without some measurements, then even a “valid opinion” may not be a provable fact. It’s still anecdotal at best.Did you think this was ASR?Subjective impressions are the mainstay of this forum.Nonetheless I think that in this case there is mea... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers @charles1dad I didn't read your comments as a criticism of either the spike or isolation approach.I was commenting on this postulation:I could easily imagine that people with “I’ll say better made” speaker cabinets, prefer spikes and mass to pin ... |
