Hello,

I been using the LV stock spikes footers with a Acoustic Revive SPU-8 combo for years now,
and was wondering if replacing them to a high praised footers such as 'IsoAcoustic Gaia III' or maybe a 'Arya audio RevOpods' will upgrade my Living Voice ibx-rw4 performance.

The Gaia III are reasonably affordable compered to the RevOpods that are 7 times the pricier,

But if the RevOpods that much better on a LV speaker maybe i'll allocate more funds.

Will be happy to hear any feedback from LV owners here..

LV got back to me that they tried the GAIA but they did not add anything to the performance,
So the IsoAcoustic are out.


Another option

Carbide Audio Store

Carbide Audio Store. Purchase Carbide Base and other Carbide Audio products.

the 50 model will look best on the LV

Check out AudioExotica in HK they have a big thread about RevOpods with WellFloat footers. Very positive results with both. The owner PianoTuner has revopods and Wellfloat under most his equipment, like the name audio exotica his audio equip is high end exotic.

I've tried RevOPods, SoundKaos, Well-Float, Stack Audio, IsoAcoustics, and many others. I believe I mentioned those in the video above but I don't recall.

I found RevOPods can be a challenge to get right on larger and heavier speakers. I just had too many issues on multiple speakers to make the RevOpods workable for me.

On my shelves of gear I found the best sound with a combined - Well-float platforms (different than the Delta's) and RevoPods combined. They also each had their own unique sound they brought to the mix.

The Well-float Delta's for me personally with their three optional mounting ways to be by far the easiest to install, and by far the best sound over everything else I've ever tried. It wasn't even close.

Some people on speakers combine the RevOpods and the Well-floats, but again you run into the issue of big heavy speakers on the tiny RevOpods. I worry the small threads on the Rev's might snap (I've never heard of this happening, though).

The Delta Extreme's are supposed to be better, but are over double the price. I have not tried those.

If it were up to me, I'd do the Delta's, and then if I had the money to do Delta's and RevoPods I'd simply upgrade to the Delta Extreme's.

Happy to answer any questions that may help.

Great stuff, I assume you compared to the Stack Auvas? Which one did you test, the 50,70 or 100? Thx
