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:

These are incredible . Best 600 clams ever spent on audio . A isoacoustics rep at RMAF 2017 was saying new devices for components are coming . Anybody know when ? Or has anybody used the pucks on dacs , preamps , ect...

Would the Gaia 3 work with monitor speakers on stands? Or would the Iso-Pucks give the same benefits of the Gaia’s?

If the stands have threaded inserts for spikes then I would say yes they will work .

My concern is that the speakers are sitting on the stands without a secure coupling of the speaker to the stand. Will this limit the resonances from the speaker being transferred through the stand to the Gaia, thereby limiting their effect?

@valinar   IMHO you should have your speakers settled onto the stands.  By checking out the link below, you'll see a variety of reasonably priced products that could do that for you.
