Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

@csmgolf, you guessed it. Have used the Signature SEs 3 years, tried various Herbie's and other things, no luck to date. Note the thread size on these is M12. Gaia I come with 12M adapters but they are a bit of overkill for 106lb towers. Just read reviews saying Gaias are difficult to install, tighten, level, so believe I will hold off pulling the trigger until hearing your experience. I will be away for the winter anyhow, so time not of the essence. Your expectation re vibration is probably correct. Hard to tell how much feedback I am getting without first trying these (or Townshend platforms whose cost I can't justify with no serious known problem to be solved). Appreciate your commentary on this subject.

I had Legacy Classics many years ago and at over 100 lbs each, I still managed to put on and remove spikes all by myself to see how they fared, both on the carpet and on a flat wood platform. If you can get someone to help move, tip and position them, it shouldn't be that much of a hinderance.

All the best,

Any kef blade owners out there using these?

I just added GAIA iii to my Sanus speaker stands, replacing its spikes. It was an unusual transformation. Before, the speakers were mostly invisible, with the soundstage taking place in the center, center/left, and center/right. Once I added the feet, the soundstage widened, vastly. Now there is a far left, far right, along with center/left and center/right. It also added some three dimensional depth, but what struck me the most was the insane bass response. The drum hits now boom with more force.

Just curious, since these work mechanically with materials and springs, does it take some time to settle in? 

emcdade, try the Townshend podiums they're a lot more expensive but they're even better than the isoacoustic Gaia and way easier to set up.
