Compatibility is primarily determined by the weight of your speakers and the thread size of your existing feet. The GAIA I set supports up to 220 lbs and includes M8-1.25, M12-1.25, and 1/4"-20 thread adaptors to fit most major floor-standing speaker models.

Yes, the GAIA I feet are directional. For optimal performance, you should install them with the IsoAcoustics logo facing the listening position to align the internal isolators with the speaker's energy output.

By managing internal reflections and preventing energy transfer to the floor, the GAIA I feet typically result in a tighter bass response and a more defined, open soundstage. The improvement is usually most apparent in the clarity of the midrange and the precision of the stereo image.

You can absolutely use them on subwoofers. They are highly effective at decoupling the subwoofer from the floor, which helps reduce unwanted structural vibrations and muddiness in the low-end frequencies.
