Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product

Hello to everyone who is being held hostage by this Covid 19 demon......I hope everybody is well and staying safe and being smart. I have been reading about this product and would like to hear from current owners or members who looked at them and didn't buy or have sold them. I would like to hear from you as I would be purchasing them for my Wilson Benesh Square 5's and they would be going over a suspended hard wood floor. Thank you in advance.

cantorgale, call John Hannant at Townshend. Gaia are slightly better than Nobsound springs for 10X the cost. Those who have directly compared Gaia with Podiums have said the Podiums are so much better they are well worth the extra. Podiums are quite frankly transformative.

Plus one for millercarbon's comment.  I contacted John directly.  My speakers are about 100 lbs. on a wooden suspended floor.  They are an essential component.

Yes. Essential.  I would have started with the Podiums and worked backwards when  putting my system together if I would have known. The Podiums will show the best from your whole system. No add on peripheral can match this 
Each component in your system will benefit.

one reviewer named Greg Weaver said that the CMS loudspeaker footers are better than the podiums and all they do is put a spike in a cup in a round cylinder I looked at them and I thought not a chance is like going to mitigate the vibration down to three Hertz like the podiums anybody have any experience with the CMS LS footers?
