The science made a lot of sense to me, and given the price compared to the Valors, seemed like a worthwhile investment.
I have therefore ordered a pair for my Valors. Looks like an 8 week manufacturing lead time. Also ordered an isolation base for my Wavelet and integrated tube amp. The microphonic nature of tubes may certainly benefit.
I did see a picture of your system as part of a post on the Townshend Facebook page, where it mentions that you spent some time working with the engineers at Townshend to customize a size for the Valors. This obviously made it easy for me to have the correct size. Wanted to thank you for your work.

@MatthewB That is great news,...congratulations in advance! I was shocked at how much they did over and above my expectations for the VALOR speakers and am certain they'll bring similar results for you.
6-8 weeks....sounds about right for lead times, very close to what I experienced including time to make the crates, etc..Once they arrived
strapped to a pallet, they went in very smoothly, far less time with a bit of
good planning than I had wondered and worried about.
If I can be of any help, please let me know; happy to talk through it via phone. I also have the CAD drawings in various stages and the final plan in case you are interested in seeing what was arrived at.
I'm looking forward to hearing your updates!
