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:

@wrm57, specifically which speakers and speaker stands are you referring to?  I ask because I believe the Gaia is made to attach directly to the speaker base. The speaker sitting on a stand might compromise the effectiveness of the Gaia. I'd give Isoacoustics a call and run that question by them.

I was wondering if there is a sweet spot for these GAIA's even if they are directional. If they are facing forward, can they be little to the right or left not straight? Maybe I am nitpicking.

Hi lak, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I have PMC Ib2i with customer Sound Anchor four-post stands. I am curious whether the Gaia I would work there magic under stands. A call to IsoAcoustic wouldn't be a bad idea, though the cynic in me thinks a manufacturer might promote its product even for a sub-optimal application, hence my interest in user experiences.

@wrm57  If your PMCs are fully coupled to your stands, I would expect it to work. If not, the degree of coupling (or lack of) might be a factor. Let us know how it works out.
