Townshend Springs under Speakers

Sound Anchors does apparently make stands for 2Cs as shown in this ad.

I have never seen a set on any other speakers than on Vandersteens .

Well lets suppose there is a difference.

1. Then it would have to be either cabinet resonance producing the sound.
   
2. Or the cabinet resonating the floor,
   
3. Or the cabinet moving to change the speaker like Doppler or IMD.
   
4. Or something else
   

if we excited the speaker with an impulse then it is possible that we could see something different between them in decay?
And if we put in a known broadband signal, then we could compare he two in the frequency domain, and look at amplitude and phase.We could also compare the cross correlation of the known signal with the measured signal.Ideally that would appear as the Dirac delta function.
If one was DDF and the other smeared out, then technically the better impulse response is higher fidelity, even if one likes the other one better.

With tones it sll seems harder to do.
The main way it could not be measurable, is if it was not different.
Then the main way it could be perceived as different, is if was purely psychological..

"I think Wilson would fall into the ’inert cabinet’ group, so I think that busts your theory."

@tobes, there is no theory to "bust". I thought my position was very clear when I wrote earlier in this thread that both (Star Sound and Townshend) are exceptionally good at what they do. That is how I genuinely view this.

It is very apparent from the testimonials on this thread if I’m interpreting them right, ’Both’ are excellent approaches to manage vibration and resonance. @tvad and @grannyring have used both products and praised both of them.

As is nearly always inevitable with High End audio products the results that people report are going to vary precisely because of numerous variables that have to be accounted for. So it is no surprise that some who have "inert" speaker cabinets will prefer spring isolation and others with same type of speaker will prefer the alternative solution (Richard Vandersteen).

Those who own speakers with less inert and more lively cabinets will also find success with either type of vibration management approach. It would all depend upon what are the addition variables or circumstances involved.

I just don’t think that lines drawn in the sand has to be the default stance.
In my opinion this thread raised some insightful commentary and questions. For those interested in addressing speaker/audio component isolation from resonance/vibration there is perhaps more awareness of ways to tackle the problem due to this thread.

Well said Charles.  Both products help the speakers disappear as said above. I have Dali Epicon 6 speakers with upgraded crossover components. 

@grannyring , thanks. Your contributions are always thoughtful and informative. Appreciate having you on this forum.

+1 Charles and Grannyring.

holmz,
I had a pair of Sound Anchors stands on my Spendor SP100 speakers years ago. They make stands for a lot of speakers.
As far as the rest of what you said, I didn’t get it.
