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:

I just put the Gaia IIs under my 66 pound Dali Epicon speakers.  I was also provided some M10 threaded inserts by the supplier as this size does not come in the box.  Nice that IsoAcoustics provides these oddball sizes to their retailers. 

My initial impression is very good indeed.  Music is more solid and focused.  Bass is more powerful and present.  Improved midrange saturation. I hear a bigger stage with the music more at ease and inviting.  This last point is most important to me. 

Like these footers! Just a pain to set up.   Nearly drove me crazy.  I found myself fiddling with these things for over an hour. I said to myself it is easier to build a darn tube amp 🤓. I think they could better think through the whole double thin nut thing. 

Bottom line is it it well worth the effort.
