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:

The reviewer sounds a little tongue tied. I can easily imagine there might have been some mistakes in set up. No offense.

The greater the ease of motion in a particular direction the better the isolation. So, the challenge is getting the greatest ease of motion without getting things unstable. That why there are usually three of four isolators instead of just one, even though one would have much lower resonant frequency than three of four. You need the lateral stability to prevent things flopping over.
