@grannyring I think the word used by the person who bought mine was transformative... A quality product for sure.
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:

Tried to install Gaia 1’s under my Sopras but they didn’t work out for me. The carpet spikes are very short and could not penetrate a frieze carpet with a nice pad underneath. I couldn’t get them stable no matter what I tried. Also their leveling with the double washers was frustrating at best. I’m returning them and going back to the Sopra spikes which are much more thoughtfully implemented at least in regard to installation. |
emcdade, that is my concern. My carpet and pad is about an inch thick uncompressed. If the carpet spikes are 15mm, I'm not sure the carpet and pad will compress enough to made solid contact with the subfloor. It looks like the spikes aren't long enough or tapered enough to work effectively in my application. |
