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.

@tvad,
"However, consider Townshend products that followed the pods and podiums and received positive commentary from him: Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables, Townshend F1 interconnects, Townshend Super tweeters.

Seemed at the time like a lot of expensive gear being acquired by someone who espouses low hanging fruit, and bang-for-the-buck products like Tekton Moab and Raven Blackhawk.

Now, it makes more sense."

Agree. If this is a in fact a business endeavor I hope it works out for him.
People do however appreciate upfront disclosure and clarity of motive when repeatedly praising specific products.

If true, might we at least be subject to fewer MC-touting posts on this product going forward? Perhaps we’ll find out. I don’t doubt his conviction in pods and podiums, but for anyone interested at all in the product, the search function would be quick to demonstrate said conviction. The constant reminders would seem even more excessive if coming from someone with a stated financial interest. Again, if true. 
Looking forward to seeing the "full disclosure" statement at the end of each and every post from now on.
@grannyring a careful read of his posting history shows the gushing BEFORE the product arrives. Over more than one and not limited to Townsend.

One does wonder if Max knows the baggage he picked up or if £ or $ is his only objective.

Cue the sycophants…..
Going back a bit MC was always touting the benefits of SR products to the skies for anyone within ear shot. Right around the time he started touting Townsend products I remember a throw away line he had about Ted Denny being an enthusiastic DIYer and not in the same league as Townsend. I could be wrong (a quick search turned up nothing) but it really struck me at the time that he'd say something like that, which made me sit up and take notice.

Did one avenue close and another open?

All the best,
