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.

OK>>OK.......  just to test the spring theory, I will order Nobsound devices and try them under my amp/pre/CD, player to hear if indeed springs are the good route.   I'll report back in a couple of weeks when done.   Anxious to evaluate
hegelsjh,
They probably will, someday... I really like the F1 speaker cables!

@stringreen et al,

Has anyone looked at the spring devices by Solid-Tech:  in ascending order of price: Isoblack, Discs of Silence, and Feet of Silence?  
..in my Vandersteen 5A’s, the 2 12 inch woofers are attached at their perimeter (facing each other) to minimize enclosure vibrations. The opening of the woofer enclosure faces downward....the other 3 speakers are in their separate enclosures...very heavy, and time aligned.
There's also these footers from Lehmann Audio. Just read about them a day ago. Something about string suspension and the speakers would literally rock if pushed but the benefits were very positive.

The best part is they only go for €200 (about $236.18) for a set of 4. That's in the EU so there should be a price hike stateside, but worth looking into.

All the best,
Nonoise
