Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers.


Do you still like them? Have you replaced them with something you felt sounded better in your system? I am considering purchasing a set of the IIIs, but am not sure I want to spend $400 on these footers.

I have the Gaia2 on Martin Logan CLX Art. They were very difficult to fit as thread wasn’t long enough. However now they are on , just - I’m pleased with improved sound. Previously used spikes sitting on granite bases.

Improvements were subtle but included less glare, improved bass control. 

Surprised that they don’t induce speaker wobble - which would be a problem with the height of CLX’s. 

They are expensive though, I’d only fit to speakers if you have high cost large floorstanders. The CLX’s are £25k, so worth the bit extra for Gaia. I haven’t bought them for my much cheaper surround floorstanders for example.

There are cheaper ways such as inner tubes with concrete slabs, etc but the Gaia is unobtrusive and takes up no extra space. There are also more expensive and larger solutions, such as Townsend Podiums. 

For smaller speakers I use Focalpods, eg. On my ProAc Response 2’s and my surround speakers ML Scenario.

I’d say they make more difference than fancy cables, but much less than a component change.

In summary, if you are using high end speakers, and you have already fixed room acoustics with treatments, then give them a try.
