Townshend Springs under Speakers

"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.

@charles1dad  I didn't read your comments as a criticism of either the spike or isolation approach.
I was commenting on this postulation:

I could easily imagine that people with “I’ll say better made” speaker cabinets, prefer spikes and mass to pin them spatially.And that the isolators may help actually people who’s cabinets tend to excite the floor.

My point was the Townshend Podiums have been reported to work with speakers having both very inert/dense/rigid cabinet materials and more conventional MDF cabinets - and speakers of all shapes and sizes for that matter. So not sure if construction can be used as an accurate barometer for predicting the performance of one approach over the other. 
My podiums are scheduled arrive next week, so at the moment I can't express an opinion on their performance, but I have prefered the Herbies isolators over rigid coupling in my room/system (hence my intrest in the Podiums).
