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.

The goal with our systems is to get it down to below where it matters for us, 
A Freudian slip or acknowledgement of your involvement with Townsend and the new job on the horizon, at the expense of those here?

All the best,

Still waiting on delivery of my Townshend speaker bars.  Should be here middle of next week.
I think that putting my speakers on the nobsound spring footers altered the frequency balance a bit along with the de-coupling effects.  No doubt due to raising the speakers a bit.  They sound was super vivid, but I think there was a tiny suck-out in the richness region, so somethings lost a bit of body, and the tone got overall a bit more open and brighter.
As I've said, I'm hoping to maintain more of the regular speaker tonality with the Townshend bars.

My speakers disappear without any springs...its hogwash....save the springs for an automobile. Last time I checked, I was not driving my speakers down a bumpy road...🤪

Hopefully MC can simply set the record straight and deny this is true.

@millercarbon states:
Its true. ;) There is ringing. Also no matter what happens the haters will see it only in the worst possible light. Definitely.

Ugh. Ethics to hell. I despise this behavior as much as stock brokers who engage in front-running. Not necessarily illegal but so ethically icky.
