Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ?

Symposium is no doubt a great company with a long with standing pedigree in the Audiophile community. I was looking at their products and they had mentioned that they do have a platform that will work wonders under floor standing speakers. So, I though I would toss the question out to the group and see what everyone thought. The Symposium shelves do wonders under equipment, so what do they do to speakers ?   Thank you in advance .......


EBM - do not reply unless you truly have something to offer and or have them under your own speakers.

I didn't find a US dealer for the Townshend podiums but had no problems buying them direct from the UK. They are made to order in the UK anyway and will take about 6-8 weeks to get to you. Cost will be $2000 plus depending on the size you need. More details on this thread

To Larryi's question on tilt you can get a small degree of tilt but probably would not want to push it too far

I use the the Super Plus under my speakers, because of my suspended wood floors and received definite bass improvement. A tighter presentation. The footprint of the Symposiums need to match that of your speaker's footprint. My dealer recommended them this way, as suggested by Symposium.

To all members - my comment was not to offend Mr. EBM ....as I always appreciated his comments regarding Symposium. So my apology to him if this comment which was intended as joke ....that offense was taken. Not my intent.

I agree with first posting, if you are considering this option I would look closely at the seismic podium. I spoke to the distributor in the US  as I have been looking at them for my 800D's. Cost about 3800 US (full retail) for the pair for the largest size.
