Anyone try different footers for DeVORE Super Nine speakers?


Hi,

I am toying with the idea of trying Gaia III footers to replace the stock spikes that come with the speakers. Has anyone tried the Gaia's or other footers? If so, what were the results? Thanks.

+1 for Townshend Seismic Isolator platforms and bars. Helped with better definition and unmuddied the bass. I am on a suspended wood floor, so vibration was a problem. Not any more!

@elliottbnewcombjr - Thanks, I may give that a try. 

@ Soix - Thanks. I have looked at the Townshend stands and yes they are pricey! My funds at the moment are a bit constrained, so I have been looking at less costly options. When finances improve, I may pursue the Townshends.

Not familiar with your speakers, but I have been using the Gaia Ones on two different speakers.  With the KEF Reference 5’s,  they made a huge difference!   With the Sonus Farber Amati G5’s there was a definite difference, but no where near big improvement in presentation. Why?  I don’t have a clue,  but the Isoacoustics Giai 3’s are definitely worth trying.

I’m in the process of ordering the Gaia III’s, but it will take a bit longer since my speakers use a different thread size than the stock sizes. Also, it looks like the Townshend's are a no go for me due to their rather large foot print (18"x21"). 

Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of a dedicated  listening room. My system is set up in the living room and aesthetics are a very important part of the WAF.  My wife has been (largely) supportive of my hobby and has a say on what goes into the room.  Aside from cost, the DeVore’s were an easy sell because of their small footprint and impeccable finish, but the Townshend stands would disrupt that look. Oh, well. On the bright side, it will save me some money!
