If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?

@zuesman 

Im sure you are correct that the podiums are better than the iso acoustic footers. They do get outstanding reviews from most everyone that uses them. My 2 channel system is in the basement on concrete so I think the benefit would be negligible. I may try them someday just to see how they sound though.

I was surprised to see that so many members here with six figure systems and decades of experience don’t have dedicated rooms. Most actually. 

@zuesman 

How do the podiums get rid of all the bad reflections in an untreated room ? 

@zuesman 

I suspect you have your system on a suspended wooden floor to notice such a difference. Our home theatre is on such a floor and we have isoacoustics footers under all speakers and subs. They did tighten up the bass nicely. 

@zuesman 

I definitely want to try them someday but I think how he is doing the testing should be considered. How many people stomp around on the floor while they are listening ? You can make anything vibrate if you give it a big enough shock. What does the needle do when there isn’t any sudden shocks ? I would like to see what the floor does when there is music playing. Put that needle on the floor. Again this applies to a concrete floor. And exactly how much vibration does it take to audibly change the sound ? 

@zuesman 

And perhaps why such a big change is perceived is because the speaker is rocking back and forth due to the pistonic motion of the woofers and the woofers are unable to perform like they should. I’m going to do a vibration test video this weekend and will post the results.
