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’m thinking of putting Gaia I on Sound Anchors stands under PMC IB2i speakers, replacing stock spikes and Herbie’s glider cups. Can anyone tell me whether, once installed, they are easy to slide on a hardwood floor, or do they stick in place? I’d like to be able to fine-tune speaker positioning very precisely once these are installed, and that requires sliding in tiny increments.

Thanks, guys, this helps.
Anyone use these under heavy speaker stands? Any reason they wouldn’t work there?

Hi lak, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I have PMC Ib2i with customer Sound Anchor four-post stands. I am curious whether the Gaia I would work there magic under stands. A call to IsoAcoustic wouldn't be a bad idea, though the cynic in me thinks a manufacturer might promote its product even for a sub-optimal application, hence my interest in user experiences.
