Townshend Springs under Speakers

audioguy85,
It's hogwash even though you haven't tried it? Your post is what's hogwash.

If you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid.

f you haven't tried "springs" regardless of supplier under your speakers your opinion is invalid.

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 measurement available - even live at shows - that demonstrates the isolation offered by the Townshend devices. Whether or not this is preferable is up to the individual. 
I don't see any evidence of the isolation or 'mechanical sink' capabilities of the spiking approach.
Apart from 3rd hand reports from Richard Vandersteen (albeit weighty opinion in relation to use with Vandersteen speakers), it does seem to me that the naysayers are made up of people with no experience of the Townshend products - some with another axe to grind.
Most everyone who has used them or heard them demonstrated has a positive opinion, anecdotal as that may be.

OK… What is ASR?
Do you recommend it?

So what makes his speakers less responsive to springs?

I am not a total naysayer, I just want to know how they work… and whether they would work with my speakers. (Before I spend the money.)
And academically… what makes them work with some speakers and not others seems pretty interesting.
My speakers are currently on a concrete slab, but will be soon moving to another house on a hardwood floor (on joists).
They have been on spikes for 15+ years (on the concrete slab).

I could picture having a slab of granite on springs, and the speakers on spikes on the granite. This assumes that the new floor might be worbling the speaker.

There is no axe.
