Recent research, I found Stack Audio Auva recommended over IsoAcoustic Gaia.
Have a set of Auva arriving from the UK tomorrow (hopefully). 30 day money back guarantee.
IsoAcoustics Gaia vs the Titan series
I have Sonus Faber il Cremonese speakers. They have been sitting on a concrete floor covered with laminate. But, I am moving them to a true hardwood floor which has a basement beneath. I have been told to get some isolating "footers" to maintain or improve the sound. IsoAcoustics have been recommended. I note that they have two series : Gaia and Titan.
Has anyone had experience with these two series and can comment on the sonic differences?
Thank you.

The Titan is just a larger version (for heavier speakers) Gaia. For your 185lbs (84 Kg ea) speakers, the Gaia I are the proper size: https://isoacoustics.com/home-audio-isolation-products/gaia-series/ From what I researched, the Townsend Podiums may be sonically superior:

I have used Isoacoustics footers on my speakers and components for over five years, and just two weeks ago I became an authorized dealer for them. The Gaia I will be fitting - no need to spend for the costlier Titan, though they may provide slightly better isolation control. While the Gaia I is rated to 220lbs, they show that performance starts to decline a little once you get past 85% or so of the rated weight. The Townshend Podiums are an upgrade beyond the Isoacoustics and I just received a pair of those less than a week ago. That said, many people find them to be too high for their budget and too unsightly. if WAF is a factor, Isoacoustics is the more visually appealing solution and still works very well. |
Thank you @blisshifi Have you heard the Auva isolators (stack audio) in comparison to the Isoacoustics? How much difference between Gaia I and Townshend ? |
