Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product


Hello to everyone who is being held hostage by this Covid 19 demon......I hope everybody is well and staying safe and being smart. I have been reading about this product and would like to hear from current owners or members who looked at them and didn't buy or have sold them. I would like to hear from you as I would be purchasing them for my Wilson Benesh Square 5's and they would be going over a suspended hard wood floor. Thank you in advance.

I bought the Podiums for my speakers, but, alas, the outriggers made them unusable (-think limited space).
So, with the blessing of Townshend, I put them under my preamp. There was a definite improvement in clarity-noticeable immediately.
I have a set of sound bars, but am waiting for my new subs to arrive. I hope that they will offer the same decoupling as the Podiums.
PM me if you want more.

@garebear   Got it. Thanks.

In my case (due to my speakers) the application of and results from the Podiums is more complicated / difficult to transpose to what I'd expect from 'standard' speakers.

I believe this also applies to your speakers:

That ‘plinth’ it rests on is in fact a high-mass chamber for a down-firing, isobaric-loaded pair of 170mm Tactic drive units (WB’s own design).

Since the base of your speakers is of a 'specialized' design and they are down-firing, I recommend reaching out to Townshend and Wilson Benesch for guidance. 

Both companies are England based so there are bound to be local owners of the Square 5's that are using Townshend Podiums.
I've owned Townshend Speaker Podiums for a couple years and use them under my Thiel CS3.6s.
I recently posted a detailed evaluation of how the podiums affected the sound of my speakers in my room-as compared to spikes.

...…..thank you for the responses as well as the updates and it would appear from the reviews and responses as well as comments from owners, that the Townshend Podiums are very well respected and enjoyed but the downfall ; if that is the correct wording,  is that they seem to suck the life out you speakers bass. I would not be a big fan of that result. My search continues.
