IsoAcoustics GAIA

understanding how isoacoustics work

the footers work by enabling only a front to back motion to synchronize the drivers motion with the cabinet

There is no true isolation when on the planet earth

I have an interesting story about these isolators on speakers. I was not in the market for such things until we happened upon a booth at the Toronto Hi Fi show where they had an A-B set-up with the exact same speakers, one set with these isolators installed the other with the speaker manufacturer base feet.

I was a little surprised at how it cleaned up the muddy base. I  purchased the items specific to my Wilson Benesch Squre 2 speakers at a reasonable cost discount (show special). Installed them on my speakers on hard wood floors and found these cleaned up my upper base response significantly.

I found more of a differance due to the hight change then anything else when i installed them. I don't understand how a wobly system like the gia's can increase bass definition, etc,etc.

They definelty helped with noise transfer to other rooms specialy in the bass. But to me that just means they are turning bass movment (cabinet movment) into heat. So I've wondered why they dont lose resolution due to the unstable'ness of the system as a whole. I understand they are (suposedly) directional. No idea, but i use them still even though i'm not convinced they are doing anything for sound quality. 

I used the Gaias under my current 125 pound loudspeakers are over a year with good results but replaced them with Stack Audio AUVA 100 and noticed quite a difference in bass, low level detail, ambiance and image focus was much better due to AUVA's rigidity.
