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.

BOOIIIIIINGG!
This must be the most repeated topic here.  No need to keep repeating, the answer is simple:

If your floor is insufficiently rigid then make it rigid or change rooms, or houses.
If your floor goes boiing, adding more boiing with springs will just make matters worse = boiing boiing.

I don't really have an issue with all this fussing with boxes, but wouldn't it be better to just get a pair of Magneplaners and skip all that?

You get another set of issues...90% room placement...the rest is your hardware.

Boxes distort.  All this "fixing" can be avoided, however!

Cheers!
