"Townsend is talking about vibration coming from the earth up into the speakers."
"That's what I need to prevent happening up to my TT from my springy floors, vibration any fool can feel."
I hope max isn't suggesting it is the planet vibrating (mass of 5.972 × 10^24 kg); I know he has had some strange ideas. Assuming not, the remedy is not to use rooms with 'springy floors' for listening. You can never make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. All you will do is build up the boing. Boing floors; boing footers, your speakers will be rolling around.
The simple and best solution is to connect speakers directly to concrete floor laid on the ground, as @lewm so rightly says. Best for turntables and amps too. If you are a flat dweller it can be tough.
