Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

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. 

@grannyring I think the word used by the person who bought mine was transformative... A quality product for sure.

Tried to install Gaia 1’s under my Sopras but they didn’t work out for me.  The carpet spikes are very short and could not penetrate a frieze carpet with a nice pad underneath.  I couldn’t get them stable no matter what I tried.  Also their leveling with the double washers was frustrating at best.

I’m returning them and going back to the Sopra spikes which are much more thoughtfully implemented at least in regard to installation.

emcdade, that is my concern.  My carpet and pad is about an inch thick uncompressed.  If the carpet spikes are 15mm, I'm not sure the carpet and pad will compress enough to made solid contact with the subfloor.  It looks like the spikes aren't long enough or tapered enough to work effectively in my application.
