Townshend Springs under Speakers


I was very interested, especially with all the talk.   I brought the subject up on the Vandersteen forum site, and Richard Vandersteen himself weighed in.   As with everything, nothing is perfect in all circumstances.  If the floor is wobbly, springs can work, if the speaker is on solid ground, 3 spikes is preferred.

From my read, Star sound ain’t springs. Looks intriguing and the sane , at least two seem to use to good effect. Reasonable $, will give them a whirl under something.

Mike - Nice to see you weigh in. Like you, i have heard my speakers at both Vandersteen house in his massive room with concrete floors and again as he set them up here on my suspended glue/ lam I beam truss floor.

Horses for courses.

"Dear Mr. Richard Vandersteen, Spikes?"

Well unexpected result  or not , in his room with his speakers he said they outperformed the springs. High End audio is curious and simultaneously fun.

Hi Mike - The Wave Kinetics certainly ain’t springs. To me they seem quite similar to some but not all of the engineering in an HRS Nimbus. They claim An 80% reduction in loudspeaker harmonic distortion seems incredible…..can you ask what the test methodology was for that, because, well thats freaking amazing … Are they $1,600 a pop ? i would need 6.  $9,600. How many are you using ?
