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 them on some large floor standers, but I was kinda throwing the kitchen sink at "Last System.."  I don't have anything bad to say about them, but I've noticed some of the A/B tests seem to leave the non-Gaia speaker slightly lower than the speaker with the Gaia feet and suspect a slightly higher speaker will sound different to a seated listener.  Also, if you have a bass port near the floor, then you'll get a different (less bloom?) bass.if the port is off the floor.

They claim to restrict side-to-side cabinet movement but allow front to back movement.  If so, I could see the front to back movement creating a cleaner, less thumpy sound, but not necessarily objectively better.

They do look nice compared to spikes, and I have no intent to sound snarky.  They're still in place, and I love my system, which says something.
