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:

here's what you risk, if you get the gaia 3 and like them, further down the road if you want to upgrade speakers you'll end up having to buy a new set of gaia's, whereas if you get the gaia 2 you open up your speaker choices without the extra expense later own.

If Matt sees this he'll have the right answer IRT weight etc... he's done all the testing of footers and isn't done yet.

@lancelock ,For which loudspeakers did you purchase the GAIAs? Can you please provide your feedback on the improvements you hear with these footers?

@milpai , I have the Tekton Double Impact SE. I didn’t do a particularly good comparison since the speakers were still new and breaking in when I installed them. I also installed Soundcity outriggers for stability. I would say though most noticeable was a tightening of the bass frequency.
