IsoAcoustics GAIA

I use them under my Legacy Audio Signature SE's. Made a noticeable improvement in bass and soundstage (deeper, better separation between instruments, just a cleaner, better focused sound.) My speakers are sitting on a hardwood floor over plywood sheeting suspended by BCI joists. So I was probably getting significant standing waves through the floor. Obviously, in this case isolation was far better than coupling.

From my experience isolation resulted in a significant improvement in "clarity" compared to spikes.  GAIA's are a great product but in my case I moved to Townshend Platforms to minimize the impact on tweeter height.  Focal Scala EVO's do not provide for adjustment.

Any firm opinions as whether to spike or not spike the gaias on carpet?

I have the Gaia Titan’s and the 1’s. And even though I have a thin carpet over a concrete floor, I still think the sound is better using the Gaia’s carpet spikes.

@bigwave1  My post further up the page states I use the carpet spikes.  Sound better with them on my thick living room carpet.
