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:

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.
You have a audio store that's selling the product 
i needed a non bias opinion.   Maybe the store
can give %30,25 off price 
 OK , i don't hear him now 
I agree with david_ten. As you know the only real way to find out is to try them in your system, unfortunately, that's not much help regarding your origional question.
I just put the Gaia IIs under my 66 pound Dali Epicon speakers.  I was also provided some M10 threaded inserts by the supplier as this size does not come in the box.  Nice that IsoAcoustics provides these oddball sizes to their retailers. 

My initial impression is very good indeed.  Music is more solid and focused.  Bass is more powerful and present.  Improved midrange saturation. I hear a bigger stage with the music more at ease and inviting.  This last point is most important to me. 

Like these footers! Just a pain to set up.   Nearly drove me crazy.  I found myself fiddling with these things for over an hour. I said to myself it is easier to build a darn tube amp 🤓. I think they could better think through the whole double thin nut thing. 

Bottom line is it it well worth the effort.
