Hans Beekhuyzun reckons the Auvas are better than Isoacoustic Gaias.
Is it just me or does that guy have a small head? ;0)

You come in here with your engineering knowledge and log ic , I bet you'll never sell a £1200 speaker spike like that!They can't absorb vibration and hold the speakers rigidly.
If the external structure is stiff enough to hold the speakers rigidly then they provide a direct path to ground for vibrations, any vibration isn't interested in jumping across an impedance mismatch into a clump of tungsten particles or anything else.
Path of least resistance n all that. Like any mechanical support it'll have a specific response to vibration based on frequency, amplitude and supported mass, here's looking foreardvto seeing a frequency sweep from 20-20khz at 5-50kg supported load..... lol...
I’m thinking of buying a set of AUVA 70. With a 30 day return period there is absolutely nothing to lose except perhaps some preconceptions. If I like them & think they are vfm I’ll keep them & if not I won’t. I don’t really see the point in debating what they can or can’t do when there is a simple way to get a definitive answer. Of course they’re v expensive but the YouTube review suggests a cheaper version is in the offing. I’m told that after all the very positive reviews there is now a 10 day wait for orders to be completed.
After much listening & consideration I decided not to keep the AUVAs & returned them for a refund.I’ve just ordered a set…
I’ve had a set of Isoacoustics Gaia111 feet on home dem for the past week & decided to buy them. Whilst the Gaias are designed for floorstanders my standmounts are bolted to their stands & I was advised that they would be appropriate in this application.I've a lot of time for Stack Audio (I've Soprano set & two Links ) - Theo is talented engineer and very customer responsive. I'd be interested - but my speakers are on wheels (Shahinian Obelisks)
I suggest trying these first: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B6W33GPV/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21
