imprezap2, judging by the video on the Seismic Isolation Podium website it looks like this device is very effective at isolating speakers from floors through what looks like four damped springs. How much do the isolation podiums cost?

Hi Roger,

On top of the page you see a tab suggested retail prices.

I was just looking at some reviews, anyone tried them out?

I like the form factor and think the look would complement my speakers.

But most of all, they should decouple the speaker from the floor.

Curious about these also. I had a a few email exchanges with them today asking questions. Apparently the size 4, with custom 70kg pods would perfectly fit my Sopra 3's. They recommended the size 5 but the footprint was huge, wouldn't even have fit my available floor space.

I was interested but put it on hold for lack of reviews and user opinions on this.

Yes but you can't find a feedback from people who have bought them.

Yes, you are right. That would be a much better ‘review’.

It's a forgotten thread but I finally made the move and ordered a pair of podium. I will set them up tonight and provide feedback.
