IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums

Two springs in series becomes a very complicated physics problem to solve (not unsolvable, but not easy).  The solution can have higher peaks and valleys and some un-expected harmonics and singularities.

I think the Townsend springs will dominate but don't know enough about the Gaia to be sure.

Townsend podiums are actually engineered for their weight range rather than just guess what spring constant to use.  So I would think you're better off with just the townshends.

@carlsbad2 Well said. Yes, it seems that people across multiple forums unanimously agree the Townshend Podiums’ performance notably exceeds the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers. I did notice an improvement in clarity off the bat, though delineation/imaging was affected, likely due to small shifts in speaker positioning. I unfortunately had to travel out of state for the week, but I look forward to continuing to dial the speakers in with the podiums in place. 

I have Combak Harmonica footers on top of my Podiums and it’s outstanding. 
Full disclosure is that I only had help for a short period of time and did not want to remove the spikes from the Persona 5F’s  I have never tried them any other way. 
little different story with the Gaia’s though. ‘The Persona’s are also ported on the bottom and figured the extra height wouldn’t hurt. 

My God man. It's akin to driving on snow tires in summer. You must make a choice. Pray it's the correct one 🕜 time is wasting. Happy listening 🎶.

Not only should you remove the Gaia’s but you also should remove the stock feet or spikes. The reason is you want to maintain the stock height of the speaker’s cabinet relative to the floor for the best response. Put the Gaia's under one or more of your components.
