At Townshend Audio, we’re absolutely delighted with the resounding success of the Cyrus Audio room at the recent Bristol HiFi Show 2026. Featuring Kerr Acoustic’s impressive K200 loudspeakers mounted on our Seismic Podiums, the setup not only captivated attendees but also clinched top honours: the organisers’ Best Sound of the Show award and the prestigious HiFi Pig Golden Pig Award for Best Room. This achievement underscores the transformative impact of our isolation technology in delivering exceptional audio performance, even in challenging demo environments. The Winning System: A Perfect Synergy. The Cyrus room showcased their new 80 Series electronics, including the 80 Amp integrated amplifier, driving the Kerr Acoustic K200 standmount speakers. These were strategically placed atop Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums, which effectively decoupled the speakers from floor vibrations, allowing the system to shine with clarity and dynamics. Streaming high-quality tracks from Qobuz proved unbeatable in a space known for its acoustic difficulties.
