IsoAcoustics Gaia w/MAGICO

Magico speakers should be used with the included spikes or their *POD feet because the speakers are designed to be coupled to the floor. Spikes and the *PODs couple to the floor.

Many thanks for Your inputs.
Speaking from experience?

@vule I have a pair of Magico A3 towers and for a long time I had Isoacoustics Gaia I footers on them. Sonically, and in general, I believe that the Isoacoustics footers make a positive difference. In my case, my A3s are on hardwood floors. I chose the Gaia Is because they provide a much more stable base for the speakers rather than the included spikes and pads. The Gaia Is accomplished that objective for me. But as of recently, I removed the Gaia Is and put the A3s on Townshend Seismic Podiums. The SQ benefits of the Podiums are superior to the Gaia Is. Additionally, they also provide a stable base. So I would say the Podiums are best. But second place goes to the Gaia Is.  

I do not have Magicos but MBL towers on concrete floor, and can confirm about the Tonwnshend podiums being superior to the Isoacoustics.  They also look way cooler.

I ended up returning them, they did tighten up the bass, but the treble was harsher and more fatiguing... Didn’t work for me, difficult to set up too, the design is funky and it can be tricky to get them tight, level, and facing the direction they tell you is best in the set up guide... too pricey also, its just sorbothane with some made in china milled parts... I went back to the regular floor spikes, but I found some carbon fiber floor spike protectors on Amazon, Viborg audio I think was the brand, only cost like $30, I cut little heavy duty rubber pieces under those I had in the garage and it sounded better than the Isoacoustics in my setup
