Yes. I would think with carpet that a spiked footer would be the way to go. I have a pair if Magico A3. They come with stock spikes and pads or you can get Magico’s APods, which are also spiked. But I have hardwood floors and because of where my A3s are in the room, I was concerned about brushing up against a 100 lb speaker and inadvertently knocking a spike off its pad. So I looked for a different foot both for safety and acoustic purposes. I got the Isoacoustics Gaia I feet. I love them. Very stable and have a suction grip on the hardwood floors. Acoustically, good. How much better than stock points and pads. I am not sure. But what I am sure about is that for my purposes above, the Gaia I feet are a net positive.
Isoacoustics Gaia II on what type of speaker platform?
I'm interested in the Isoacoustics gaia footers for my speakers. The room is on a suspended wood floor with carpet. The carpet is too thick to use the optional carpet cups. Any experience using a granite or maple platform in this situation and then having the footers sit on the granite or maple platforms? Positives / negatives?
