I tried the Gaia 1's under my ATC SCM100aslt's about a year ago.
Unfortunately I didn't find them an improvement over the basic furniture felt sliders I was using previously. I returned them.
Yesterday I installed some Herbies giant stud gliders (fat dots with gliders and screw in studs attached).
From first listen it was obvious the Herbies footers were an emphatic improvement.
The whole soundfield has more clarity and floats more free of the speakers which disappear more as sound sources. Positioning of instruments in depth is better defined.
The tone and texture of voices/instruments and particularly transients are clearer and more realistic. There's more delicacy and decay to sounds.
It's like a layer of intermodulation distortion has been removed.
Unlike the Gaia's they allow easy movement/repositioning of the heavy SCM100 towers and only raise the speakers 20mm. They are also inconspicuous, which I like.
