Townshend Seismic Podiums

They can be used either way. Bear in mind the main point of outriggers is stability. Podiums already are wider and more stable. It won't gain anything going even wider, but you will need larger Podiums to accommodate outriggers. 

Thanks Millercarbon and by the way, what is your real name?

Of course I am looking for improvements in sonics, however out riggers sitting on top of the podiums might be minimal in aesthetics and cause more problems for adjustments so that's why I think the speakers should be on the podiums without the outriggers. 

Thanks,
Sam

Sam,
Those speakers will probably both look and sound better sitting directly on Podiums. You may want to experiment with different materials between the speakers and the Podiums. I use BDR Cones on Round Things. Partly for looks, partly to make it easier to avoid scratches. It is overkill, I wouldn't go out and buy them for this, but I have em so I use em. 
Cheers,

Townshend recommends removing feet from the speakers before putting the speakers on their podiums so that the floor to bottom of speaker height is minimally affected. This has to do with not altering the speaker’s bass response. I would think that outriggers should be treated as feet in this regard. If in doubt, call them. They are very helpful.
