Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

@lancelock ,For which loudspeakers did you purchase the GAIAs? Can you please provide your feedback on the improvements you hear with these footers?

Thank You @lancelock !

Anyone new users with Gaia footer experience? I am thinking of upgrading the stock spikes on my loudspeakers with these. Any ProAc users with Gaia?

Keep checking Amazon. Or call up Music Direct or Audio Advisor and check with them.

Listening to Beatles Past Master Disc 1, "This Boy". Very very strange that the right vocals seems to come from 2 feet (on the right) beyond the speakers and couple of feet behind. But the music (no vocals) from the left speaker seems to come thought the left speakers - no changes there. Sorry for gushing out. Will stop now and focus on music :-)

I got the Gaia II for my ProAc D48R today and installed them a few minutes ago. The changes that I noticed were:relaxed presentation, sound stage expanded, pin point imaging, better definition of overall music. And stable sound stage - very noticeable. One important observation was - even at low volume there is details and you don’t have to strain to hear what is going on.
The thing that concerns me most is that, on the footers the speakers wobble when you push them. On spikes they were rock solid. Hopefully I will get used to this. But overall, I am glad that this tweak worked for me and the money is well spent.

Forgot to mention that I do not have the spikes. The footers are on a thick granite slab. They have suction-like property. Once placed on the granite, you have to pull up the speakers hard. The footers then come off the granite with a "pop" sound. So, you really cannot change the speaker positioning once you attach them to the speakers.

@mcondo ,I had the speaker on the spikes that came with them, supported by Herbie Audio Hush Puckies. I was actually sold on the Gaias from a 2017 AXPONA demo. $ was an issue then. So I waited for a good deal to come by. Which ProAcs do you have?

@twoleftears ,I suggest that you reach out to Isoacoustics and get their recommendation on the specific standmound speakers. I see that they have Isopuck that could better suit standmount speakers.

@turnbowm,I reached out to IsoAcoustics and that is by design. No issues at all. I love what the Gaias are doing in my system - especially the bass and spaciousness.

@phillyb ,In a philosophical mood eh? I have read a few user reviews that indicated what you mentioned. In my system, I lost neither weight or body. In fact it became much more tight and resolving. Did you try the Gaias in your system? MusicDirect allows you to return them, if they don't work in your system.

@avhifidelity ,Did you install the Gaias per the instructions? The logo should be EXACTLY facing forward or backward. Did you tighten the nuts? Ironically Focals floor standers are the most widely used ones in Gaia demos.My experience is different than yours. In my case, the imaging tightened up and the bass gained tightness. But the most significant change was a "naturalness" to the sound.

@ryder ,

Does anyone know if the Isoacoustics Gaia require break in after installation to sound good?

I first thought you were kidding. But if you do not hear improvements immediately after installing them as suggested by Isoacoustics, then you need to return them back for full refund, since they did not work for you. I am hoping you got the correct size (per the weigh of speakers) and have installed them properly (logo facing front or back and not to the sides).
