Townshend Springs under Speakers

Helmholtz as in the Argent Room Lenses I recommended to you a couple years ago..Great devices they are...stage shifters and shapers. Tom

Precisely yes! i thank you for that in the past and i can thank you again...

But it takes me only few hours to understand why argent Room lenses are not so effective...reading about psycho acoustic and Helmholtz original ideas...

I created more than 40 Helmholtz tubes around my room and they begin their "circle" near the tweeter of one speaker ( few inches) the "head" of my mechanical equalizer and ended near at few inches also the woofer of the other speaker...

The reason for this is the psycho-acoustic fact linked to the way each ears perceive first frontwaves sounds coming from each speaker and the way the brain locate each sound in a room...

Then the power of my mechanichal equalizer compared to the Argent room lenses are huge improvement...Because the room lenses are not each one of them like my 40 tubes and pipes and bottles FINE TUNED each one in relation to the technical specificity of the speakers and the specific acoustic features of the room geometry, topology and content...Each of my tubes work differently in their particular location creating a new pressure zone in the room...

And my mechanical equalizer cost is zero...
I used only discarded plumbers pipes tubes and bottles... With straws of different size mechanically adjusted to the mouth of each pipe... More than that i also created tubes which are more diffusers of sound than absorbers...

All is fine tuned on a few months listening experiments process like we tune a piano....

Then yes it is you who inspire my idea but there is NO relation in cost and efficiency between my equalizer and the 9 identical tubes of the room lenses...You just put my attention at the right time on the right phenomenon : Helmholtz bottles....Thanks for that....

Because i never bought any tweak but prefer to let them inspire my own working i react speedily....

My geatest tubes is 8 feet high and the smaller one is almost a straw...

In audio nevermind the amplifier, the dac, or the speakers, ACOUSTIC is queen....

 For sure my mechanical equalizer cannot be put in a living room....

 The most precious tool for audiophile experience is simply a dedicated audio room... It was and is my own luxury in audio....

Yea my room is freak enough yours is  Plan Nine from outer space..I will send you pictures of the mechanical coupling devices we created at Starsound Technologies so you can create your pantomime version. Or look on line.. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your ideas and personal experience. Tom

Thanks  theaudiotweak for your humor and advices and generosity.....

My deepest respects....

Looking for some feedback whether my speakers might benefit from the Townshend Podiums.  My speakers are Verity Amadis S.  They come with the following isolation platform that Verity developed.  As I'm not too technically inclined, I'm wondering if someone has any thoughts where the Verity platform fits into the spectrum of issues discussed in this thread and what changes I would likely encounter in trying the Townshend Podium.  Thanks all!

Looks like a constrained layer platform using some type of acoustic foam, or maybe fiberglass like the Owens corning 703/705, as the primary damping material.  This would be a decoupling solution like Townshend's springs, Herbies elastic material, or the A/V RoomService EVPs.  All of them are basically springs, but they each have different elastic properties and will likely sound different from each other when used under your speakers.  I would simply use your platforms and enjoy your speakers unless you are really curious and feel the urge to try different things.  Only you can tell which product you like best, and for that you must try them in \your own system.
