Magico and Symposium

Wow! They must be really, really important!!!!

I was thinking about possible options to improve the vibration control on my new Magico S5 Mk2 speakers. I initially thought I might be able to order the new MPods made for the new M3, however they’re only offered in a set with the (superfluous) t-bar @$9600USD a set!

An alternative option some of my friends use is Stillpoints Ultra 5’s, though imho they work better fitted sloped-side up with the Ultra bases which would add quite a bit of height vs the factory spikes & might upset the tweeter level, especially with the ear position on my sofa.

In the end, I decided to use the factory spikes, though I was toying with the idea of trying some BDR Mk4 Mini pits at some point, or maybe the slightly bigger Mk3’s in lieu of the factory bases. What do you guys think?

new option is the Townsend seismic podium-excellent reviews and when I contacted the distributor in the US they were 3800 pair. Hopefully when and if the Canadian dollar improves I will order a set.

Symposium is much better than Townsend or Stillpoints Symposium will isolate the speaker from the room and floor.Im using the Super Plus with copper spikes on a carpet/wood/cement floor I'm getting better bass detail,better specificity of images with much more detail.Highs and midrange detail is better as well with better microdynamics and better soundstage imaging  as well.Symposium costs less than Townsend as well.Copper spikes are better sounding than stainless steel .You should call Symposium and talk to Peter.Well good luck.
