I highly recommend going with the GAIA I. You are at the limit of the IIs and I found that being at the limit of the IIs wasn't good. You will also get better stability with the larger diameter Is.
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:

I concur with David, You really need the ones with those speakers,it will make a difference and you will get the best from the product. Yes I know they are expensive but the sound increases you will achieve are priceless in my opinion and some folks continue to upgrade their systems with cables and components,when they just simply Ignore speaker isolation. Best of luck to you, Kenny. |
My buddy Matt is in the end stretch of a footer shootout in his system. He's had most of the top names in. He's got the Shun Mook in right now. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/absolute-top-tier-dac-for-standard-res-redbook-cd Go to the last few pages and you will see that it's a DAC thread, but he's in the middle of the rack/footer/platform shootout. It's an incredible thread that may interest you if you haven't seen it yet, but you will like the footer part of the thread. |
