Isoacoustics Gaia II on what type of speaker platform?


I'm interested in the Isoacoustics gaia footers for my speakers.  The room is on a suspended wood floor with carpet.  The carpet is too thick to use the optional carpet cups.  Any experience using a granite or maple platform in this situation and then having the footers sit on the granite or maple platforms?  Positives / negatives?

I recently tried GAIA II footers w/ slate slabs under them. They really worked to add great depth and a floating 3d quality to the imaging... But I have Harbeth 40.2 speakers, which have a resonating cabinet type design and the footers made the speakers to lean. 
 For what it’s worth, I tried two other speaker footers and they all screwed with the tonality in one way or another...but thats harbeth for ya. Nothing worked as well as the Herbie’s Audio Labs threaded Decoupling Gliders on the stand.
