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.

in my attempt to not promote a competing product aka shill i didn’t mention Vandersteen partnered a high tech firm making constrained layer compound make a “ bedrock “ granite base that Vandy products couple to via three poinrs. Constrained layer damping converts motion to heat and also greatly reduces reflections back from floor to loudspeaker. 

When you dive deep into Vandersteen you discover what i call the orbit of excellence - they tend to show with ARC, Aesthetix, Basis, Brinkmann, Lyra, HRS Triplaner, Audioquest - sharing the spur for innovation and idea, even patent sharing ( DBS ). Another example is R core power supply transformers….

MC of course misses the point that Vandersteen is hardly just a theoretical guy, listen and measure. I expected no less a low reading comprehension retort.
So the guy who has nothing to sell you call a shill, while holding up as a paragon of impartial virtue a guy you know DOES have something to sell. Then after calling me a shill you have the gall to throw the low reading comprehension retort.

How about instead of attempting to promote or not promote any product you attempt merely to promote the truth? Why not give that a shot? For a change?
the truth is start with a low resonance cabinet….

a point you miss, and miss and miss…..
