Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes

@twoleftears - You would want to use Orea Pucks most likely instead of Gaias as the Gaias get screwed into the speaker or footing hardware.

Check out my Olneya stands as this will provide a simple visual:

Because the pucks are integrated into my stands, I have machined recesses to make placement super easy.  This is not required.  Just take care to space them evenly.  

Take the weight of your speakers and divide by the number of pucks you would want to use which would typically be 3. That will give you the appropriate weight rating to decide which Orea (Bronze, Indigo or Bourdeaux) to use.

The Orea Puck has sort of a suction cup surface on the top and bottom (the Gaias have it on the bottom). Puck sets on stand, speakers sit on pucks.

Thanks!
Has anyone compared the Studio/Professional Iso-pucks with the Home/Audiophile Oreas?

I added the carpet spikes for the Gaia II under my speakers a couple of days ago. I am not going to say, it improved this, it made that fantastic, etc. All I will say is, if you have the footers, then do not skimp on the spikes. I have removed the granite bases underneath the speakers and the spikes directly contact the concrete floor underneath. For me the improvements was more than worth the asking price.I had purchased the Iso-puck minis a few days ago and placed them under the preamp and the Oppo. So I am guessing it was a cumulative effect. But completely worth it.

Forgot to mention one more thing - make sure that the speaker placement is as precise as possible. While adding the spikes, the left speaker moved up 3/4 inch up, when measured from the back wall (compared to the right speaker). And that messed up my center vocal positioning. I went nuts for 2-3 days before I used the measuring tape to find the issue. Once fixed, the image snapped precisely in the middle. So, yes, the spikes improve the sound, but be careful with that speaker positioning.

2 year old thread resurrected. Although I use a thick high-pile rug covering a large area, my speakers which are also on Gaia 2 are placed on tiled concrete floor instead of the rug. It’s useful to know that the carpet spikes work better on the Gaias than granite bases placed directly on carpet.

Most importantly, the Gaias really work wonders by improving the sound of the speakers. Proper isolation by decoupling the speakers from the floor is the key to great results.
