Interesting article. Shame it focussed more on the difference between statically positioned speakers and ones that can be easily moved to the optimum listening position. I would have liked more indepth between spikes and isolation.
Those Herbies are very good value if they achieve the same goal as the gaias are claimed. Thing is it's hard to see how they isolate.
Personally I don't really want my speakers to move - not easily anyway. A toddler, combined with nowhere for them to realistically go means they're better staying put - regardless of benefits of mobility. Actually I'm surprised the Gaia holds the speakers so still. They can wobble when prodded, but having seen the townshend platforms demo, I was figuring 'full isolation' required the speaker to be 'free floating' whereas they do seem somewhat coupled. Must do some reading on the theory (from a scientific perspective).
