Thanks Yes, something like 25mm (I got some wooden discs cut by 'Wood Sheets' to go under the rear feet that prevent the speakers from being knocked over). Prolific music listener / Hi-Fi addict!

The GAIA I includes thread adaptors for sizes M8-1.25, M12-1.25 and ¼”-20. Alternative thread size adaptors are available upon request through IsoAcoustics distributors. Yes, the dealer should provide them on request, or a distributor should be able to do the same. You may need to allow a couple of additional days for them to arrive, unless you go direct to the distributor. Prolific music listener / Hi-Fi addict!

I can't see the logic, why they provide M12 as standard thread, but miss the very common M10 thread, actually I have never seen a speaker or subwoofer with M12 thread.

I also have the Delos Isolation shelf for the turntable. I really like the difference having the Gaia's under the 8ks.

I've just bought a set of Gaia II's for my 5200SE speakers, so curious about adding the spiked carpet discs as well.
