IsoAcoustics Gaia w/MAGICO

@vule I have a pair of Magico A3 towers and for a long time I had Isoacoustics Gaia I footers on them. Sonically, and in general, I believe that the Isoacoustics footers make a positive difference. In my case, my A3s are on hardwood floors. I chose the Gaia Is because they provide a much more stable base for the speakers rather than the included spikes and pads. The Gaia Is accomplished that objective for me. But as of recently, I removed the Gaia Is and put the A3s on Townshend Seismic Podiums. The SQ benefits of the Podiums are superior to the Gaia Is. Additionally, they also provide a stable base. So I would say the Podiums are best. But second place goes to the Gaia Is.  

@stibi what you need to do with Magicos is to email Isoacoustics support and tell them the make and model of the speaker you have if none of their included hardware fits. They will send you the hardware you need free of charge. I did that for my Magico A3s and when I put them on my Monoprice speakers stands, I emailed Isoacoustics and they sent me the proper hardware again, free of charge. They aren’t the fastest to respond via email. But they do respond and follow through. 
 

But once again, I replaced the Gaia Is with the Townshend Podiums. The Podiums are not leaving. 

@pgnixon I removed my Isoacoustics Gaia Is and place the speakers without spikes or anything else on the Podiums. The speakers have on the bottom, round metal surrounds around where the spike or Gaias screw in. I placed round felt furniture feet on the bottom of those four metal surrounds and placed the speakers down on the Podiums resting on those four felt pads.
