IsoAcoustics GAIA

I have Gaia III’s under my Focal’s and Sonus Faber’s.  I can’t tell that they make any difference in sound, but they are much more convenient than dealing with spikes.  I’m trying to get away from spikes.

My biggest complaint with the Isoacoustic Gaia’s, is the manufacturing issues of them.  I’ve purchased two sets now where the threaded holes are not completely plumb.  One set was so bad that I had to send it back for a replacement.  Some of the others are just slightly off and due to the rubber footing and the way it can offset some of this, it hasn’t been a problem on the others.

One would think for things at this price that they could at least have better manufacturing qualities though.

Cheers

There have been plenty of positive reports.  I was targeting Gaias for my own speakers, but will go with Townsend platforms as they seem the best.

@howardlee I know this is a bit pedantic but there's no such thing as a KEF Ref 7 Meta. There's an "R" 7 Meta, which of course is a line below the Reference line. Reference pairs consist only of models 1, 3, and 5.

That’s not pedantic. My brain’s wires got crossed. R7 Meta is correct. I don’t know why they name their products like that.

@baylinor I'm pretty sure the rubber used in Isoacoustics is sorbothane...
