Speaker Isolation tweaks ?


Hi everyone,

I want to tweak my bookshelf speaker(Revival Atalante 3) isolation.So my speakers have small isolation feet attached to the speaker, which in turn just rests on top of my speaker stand. So technically not attached to the speaker stand. These are sand filled stands with adjustable spikes, resting on a hardwood floor. I currently use dimes underneath the spikes to prevent holes in my hardwood floors. So would something like the IsoAcoustics Gaia isolators work, by replacing my existing spikes with the Gaia isolators ? seems these are to be attached to floor standing speakers. If so, the Gaia iii is for speakers less then 40 lbs, but do you include the speaker stands ?

I kind of want to stay away from adhesives. Don't want to stain or mark up my speakers.

Anyway maybe people can share their thoughts on how they approach speaker isolation  with bookshelf speakers on stands.

Cheers

Yes, you would have to account for the weight of the stands for the Gaia feet.  You might get a better acoustic improvement by placing an iso stand between the speakers and the stands. 

I use Nobsound springs between my Spendor SP2/2 and the top of stands (cheap and effective - opens up soundstage and increases detail and dimensionality) or these get solid reviews: Seismic Isolation Pods (not so cheap!)
