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:

Just did our first demo with the Gaia. We put a set under a set of ATC SCM 40 and the difference was rather profound.

The bass was dramatically deeper and tighter, the macro dynamics were greatly increased. This was the biggest difference voices also floated better.

I will say that if your speakers are 70lbs or so a set of Gaia 3 for $400 a pair will be your best audio upgrade.

Which model would you recommend for Salk SoundScape 8 speakers? How defined are the weight ranges -- could I squeeze by on Gaia II  with speakers at 126 lbs or would I need to pay double to get Gaia I?

Belmontjoe, you would be okay with the Gaia 2 which are rated to 120 lbs you are close enough in weight. 

They are awesome.

bdp24, a friend of mine was looking for a set of three and couldn't find any. He ended up buying two sets of four.
