Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

Replacing the spikes in my Soundocity outriggers (Soundocity made me a set of outriggers with threaded holes) with the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 footers has improved the sound of my Merlin VSM speakers.  They now sound more open and articulate than with any combination of Z-feet or other spikes, with or without outriggers, on the floor or on a platform, that I've tried.  Like the Townshend products the Gaia footers completely decouple the speakers from the floor, allowing them to float.  See:

@lak , I was told that ISO-PUCKS won't be available for another month. I ordered 6 sets to tried them out under different components. 

I drooled over HRS Nimbus and other uber expensive isolators for a while. I hope to put an end to my search with ISO-PUCKS :-)

What is the weight capacity of the ISO-PUCK? Competition to the Townshend Seismic puck!

Each Puck with a weight bearing capability of 20lbs, 3 or 4 of them can be combined to support the weight of a product requiring isolation.

Great, kinda glad I haven't sprung for the Townshends yet. Hope they're as effective.

Just did our first demo with the Gaia. We put a set under a set of ATC SCM 40 and the difference was rather profound.

The bass was dramatically deeper and tighter, the macro dynamics were greatly increased. This was the biggest difference voices also floated better.

I will say that if your speakers are 70lbs or so a set of Gaia 3 for $400 a pair will be your best audio upgrade.
