How do you like your Townshend pods? I'm little afraid to try them because I think they can topple  the speakers. I have tried GAIA-1 under my speakers and they failed the tap/stomp test (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOPXJDdwtk4&t=69s).
Is there a clear difference in sound quality between with and without the platform?
Cheers...

@sam1000

I used to be a owner of the Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars for Speakers that you can also see in the video you have posted. I bought them after Munich 2015 where I met Mr. Townshend.
Did they improve the sound? Do expensive network switches or cables improve the sound? I think the answer for me is too subjective so I prefer not to answer.
They looked very cool and I was very happy with them; that was more than enough to justify the purchase.
 
Now I totally see your point when you wrote "I think they can topple  the speakers"
I used to have Wilson Benesch Vertex speakers where the stand was relatively wide (and heavy lowering the center of gravity) versus the speaker itself so it was stable; I could move the speakers right and left without any fear.
My current speakers are more classical floor standing speaker 23x28x115. I did not feel comfortable to move right and left the speakers; on top of that when you have young kids around you do not want to take that kind of risk so I sold them.

Seismic Isolation Podium like @bernardl  looks more stable then the bars I had but I cannot comment on those as I never tried them. @bernardl has 23x40x119 50 kgs floor standing speakers so once he puts them into "production" we will get some information about how stable he feels.

I think the best is to try with equivalent speakers in term of shape/weight.
