the difference in height between the spikes and the Gaia 1’s was maybe 3/4”. With the dispersal patterns of most speakers, I doubt many people can hear a difference in height of an inch from 10’ away! Having said that, I put my KEF’s on some 21”x 19” x 1.25” granite and it made a very noticeable difference. Then when I added the Gaia 1’s, on top of the granite and the soundstage really blossomed.
Just curious, what kind of floor do you have under your speakers? I have hardwood floors with a full basement under and the granite made a very noticeable difference. Isoacoustics told me the carpet spikes were designed mostly for carpet over concrete. When I told them that I had hardwood floors, they warned me that the spikes would leave marks! So my Gaia’s are on 1 5/8” thick granite.
