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 GAIA III will work but I believe the GAIA II will work better. I had the same situation and paid a little more for the bigger footer. I’m happy with them.
@milpai , I have the Tekton Double Impact SE. I didn’t do a particularly good comparison since the speakers were still new and breaking in when I installed them. I also installed Soundcity outriggers for stability. I would say though most noticeable was a tightening of the bass frequency.

I have them on my TAD ME-1 stand mount speakers. They work great on the bottom of the stands.

I can’t say if the GAIA will completely eliminate all vibration but they work as good or better than any of the other vibration control devices out there. I gave up pursuing perfect.
