Townshend Audio ones Through

samgar2,
Podiums are impressive. At the time when I did my review I had tried them based on how well ordinary springs work, and also from having used Pods under my turntable, amp, and phono stage. Podiums are pretty expensive and I wasn’t aware of hardly anyone using them. Pods use basically the same technology so this was a good way of checking them out before stepping up to Podiums.

Then on the review several people posted their experience, which were all like mine, excellent. Some had already done so before but it is hard sometimes to search around and put it all together. We wound up with a pretty wide range of speakers, both in size and cost, all of us real happy and hearing pretty much the same improvements. The main one for me being a freedom from tonal coloration that makes every instrument sound so much more distinct by revealing its natural harmonic structure or timbre. Pods have the same effect but Podiums even more so.

If you are considering them you might want to check it out. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/townshend-audio-podiums-the-full-review  
If you decide to get them I highly recommend you contact John Hannant at Townshend. John Hannant is who I think you meant by John Townshend. I gave him the dimensions and weight of my Moabs and he got me the perfect size Podiums.

I had the same experience this week. John Townshend sincerely apologized and offered helpful assistance. We had a nice back and forth and they're obviously good people who also make very good products.

Thanks for your comments. Sorry if I picked the wrong John. I will ask you a question since you are so happy with the Podiums. Once the speaker is sitting on them, can it be slid on a wood floor or to do they have a grip which stops them from being able to slide. Also how do they attach to you speakers? Can they screwed to the bottom or just float on the podium?

Thanks,
Sam
