Townshend Springs under Speakers


I was very interested, especially with all the talk.   I brought the subject up on the Vandersteen forum site, and Richard Vandersteen himself weighed in.   As with everything, nothing is perfect in all circumstances.  If the floor is wobbly, springs can work, if the speaker is on solid ground, 3 spikes is preferred.

I don’t believe that one product/solution has to be denigrated in order to support the other.

+1 - Unfortunately that's not the way some folks on here decide to roll.  It seems that someone always has to be right at the expense of others who are targeted as being "wrong".  I so much appreciate your voice of reason, maturity and sanity @charles1dad

“They call them Sound Anchor Stands”

I suppose that they make them for the 2Cs?


It seems like most of the people that like spikes and/or sound anchors seem to have cabinets that are not ringing and resonating?
I could easily imagine that people with “I’ll say better made” speaker cabinets, prefer spikes and mass to pin them spatially.And that the isolators may help actually people who’s cabinets tend to excite the floor.
I am in the first camp.
@three_easy_payments, Thank you for your kind comment, much appreciated.

That certainty appears to be a contributing factor (Speaker cabinet construction and type of floor/surface they are sitting on). ) Seems what Richard Vandersteen was alluding to given his post testing comments and results  in his two seperate rooms. You have to give him credit for actually trying a product with his own speakers.

@charles1dad not sure if it was this thread or the other Townshend thread, but there was a Wilson speaker owner who found the Podiums a profound improvement over spikes.
I think Wilson would fall into the 'inert cabinet' group, so I think that busts your theory.
Couldn't find the Wilson reference, but this review is with Magico S7s which are at the edge of the art for cabinet construction:
