Isoacoustics Gaia III for Focal Aria 936s my next tweak?

I am thinking about getting some Isoacoustics Gaia IIIs for my Focal Aria 936s. Do any of you have this combination? The website says that they are for speakers up to 72 lbs and the Aria 936 is 64 lbs. It should work right? Not so fast. When you type everything in their calculator it says to use the Gaia IIs for best results. If any of you are using the Gaia IIIs on the 936s I would like to hear what you think about them.

Any GAIA users on carpet?  I know Isoacoustics sells as an option what the call carpet discs (or something similar) that the footers rest on.

Wondering if they work as well on carpet as on hard floors?

If the Isoacoustic Gaias are like their Oreas for gear, then you'd want to use about 75% of the weight limit of the footer and not anything approaching 90% or more.

I found this out by too many trials trying to get the best out of them.

All the best,

If you can afford it, Townshend Podiums are a lot better. See the recent threads where guys went from Gaia to Podiums.

Thanks @millercarbon, I think I’m going to pass through the Gaia first. I can always use them on my second system if I upgrade to the Townshends later.
