Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

One aspect I did notice though was that noise somehow was reduced. By that I mean the background hiss with nothing playing was nearly totally absent, quite a reduction in all honesty.

No idea why that should be.

I posted elsewhere on the forum today that I am totally impressed with the SQ improvement with the GAIA III's under my Spatial Audio speakers for the reasons described above.  It is a pricey tweek ($684 with the carpet spikes), but it is a really significant improvement in the SQ of my system.  No question about it.  

Hey whitestix, which spatial model do you have?

I got the Gaia II for my ProAc D48R today and installed them a few minutes ago. The changes that I noticed were:relaxed presentation, sound stage expanded, pin point imaging, better definition of overall music. And stable sound stage - very noticeable. One important observation was - even at low volume there is details and you don’t have to strain to hear what is going on.
The thing that concerns me most is that, on the footers the speakers wobble when you push them. On spikes they were rock solid. Hopefully I will get used to this. But overall, I am glad that this tweak worked for me and the money is well spent.

Forgot to mention that I do not have the spikes. The footers are on a thick granite slab. They have suction-like property. Once placed on the granite, you have to pull up the speakers hard. The footers then come off the granite with a "pop" sound. So, you really cannot change the speaker positioning once you attach them to the speakers.
