Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

Replacing the spikes in my Soundocity outriggers (Soundocity made me a set of outriggers with threaded holes) with the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 footers has improved the sound of my Merlin VSM speakers.  They now sound more open and articulate than with any combination of Z-feet or other spikes, with or without outriggers, on the floor or on a platform, that I've tried.  Like the Townshend products the Gaia footers completely decouple the speakers from the floor, allowing them to float.  See:

Tried to install Gaia 1’s under my Sopras but they didn’t work out for me.  The carpet spikes are very short and could not penetrate a frieze carpet with a nice pad underneath.  I couldn’t get them stable no matter what I tried.  Also their leveling with the double washers was frustrating at best.

I’m returning them and going back to the Sopra spikes which are much more thoughtfully implemented at least in regard to installation.
