IsoAcoustics Gaia Series Isolation Feet for Speakers & Subwoofers (Gaia III, 70 lb max) – Set of 4

Installed a set on a Sony SW5 subwoofer. Had to get creative with the hardware due to the subwoofer's original feet not having threaded pilot holes. I'm using the SW5 with the Bravia Quad Theater System. A surprisingly neutral sounding system! Within minutes of playing an Atmos movie and a couple of music tracks, the difference was audible. Sounds as if there's more detail/texture in the bass notes and less boomyness. These feet are beautiful and feel luxurious in your hand. All of this could be my audiophile brain tricking me into spending more money. Never the less, I love this product.

They really decouple to offer mote clarity and wider sound stage.. bass is more defined thus improving the mid and high frequencies

I added it to my floor-standing speaker, and found that the bass is improved. The feeling is bass power is upgraded like a basketball rebound from the ground.

I normally do not write reviews. However, I feel the urge to write about the Isoacoustics Gaia III speaker isolation feet.After carefully reading the directions and installing them, I put on my favorite test tracks to have a listen. The results in my stereo were undeniable and very pleasant. Even exciting! There is more space between the artists, tighter bass. Definitely more "air" in the presentation. The heart of my system is a Boyuurange A50 300B amp and a pair of Silverline Sonatinas.

I wasn't as shocked as some of the reviewers since I kind of already knew what to expect. I previously bought IsoAcoustics Aperta 200 stands for my desktop LS50's and was completely blown away so I expected similar results from the GAIA III feet. With the GAIA III's I got even more impressive results but that might be partly due to the fact that they went into a higher end system than my desktop setup.I have never gotten such a huge improvement in sound with this "cheap" of an investment. I put "cheap" in quotations because upgrading my speakers cables to an $1800 pair made a tremendous improvement in clarity and soundstage but don't hold a candle to the improvements that the GAIA III's brought.Apologies for the buzzwords but after adding the GAIA's I got crazy holographic sound imaging. The improvement in soundstage is unbelievable and undeniable. A second veil was lifted from my speakers. I experienced this "veil" lifting when I upgraded my speaker cables but the improvement with the GAIA's was even more drastic and at less than 1/4 the cost. There is a new level of clarity to the sound and upon listening to Beck's "Sea Change" album I was hearing parts of the song (instrument separation) that I previously had not noticed. It was the same "WOW" feeling I got when I upgraded my headphones from Beyerdynamic DT770's to Sennheiser HD800's.They removed a bloated bass problem that I thought was just poor room acoustics. Overall, the low end became really tight and focused sounding and there was a boominess that I used to get when sitting in the back of the room that is no longer there.Another benefit that I didn't expect was how much larger they made the "sweet spot". To get the best sound I used to have to sit dead center between my speakers about 6 feet from the rear wall. Moving forward, backwards, or to the sides as little as 1 foot really killed the soundstage. Now I can sit around 5 feet off center from the sweet spot in every direction but forward and it sounds almost as good as being dead center. This has made listening way more convenient since I have more freedom with where I sit without really compromising the sound.They also caused a significant improvement when watching movies. Before you definitely knew you were watching movies on a 2-channel system. The dialogue would get lost in the mix sometimes so I would always watch movies with subtitles. Now it sounds almost as if I've got a center channel installed when watching movies. Dialogue is so clear now that I can finally lose the subtitles.TLDR: Just try them! As long as the seller is "fulfilled by Amazon" you're protected by Amazon's gracious 30-day return policy. This allows you a no-risk demo of them and if you aren't blown away like every other reviewer you can always send them back with free return shipping and get a full refund. There's really no excuse not to try them with that 30-day return policy on the table. With so much snake oil in the audio world it's easy to be skeptical of products that promise big results but this is one product that I can say with 100% certainty is completely snake oil free. I've gotten big improvements from speaker cables but at great cost. I've spent hundreds on interconnects too with negligible results. The GAIA's and the Aperta 200's though... just WOW!

I was the biggest skeptic of the claimed sonic performance improvements I would realize when I ordered this product. Typically these type of supplemental, add-on products never live up to they hype in terms of the actual performance differences they make relative to their price. Boy was I wrong about this product. The sonic improvement in my rig/speakers was nothing less than phenomenal!I have Focal Chora 826's connected to a McIntosh MA12000 using a 2021 Bluesound Node to stream digital to the Mac's DA2 DAC. My rig is in a small 11' w x 14'd x 9' h room. I love the Chora's but was looking at upgrading them in the product line to Aria's or Kanta's to get a little more bass and larger soundstage in the room. Even though this product claimed they would not only increase speakers soundstage but also imaging I really didn't believe these claims and ordered this product primarily to bling out my Chora's until I replaced them with new upgraded speakers.Well after installing these isolators I could not believe the performance improvement from my Chora's! The soundstage now completely fills my room and instrument location is laser focused. It is like someone dropped a new pair of better speakers in my room. I really did not expect this result. I am so happy with the sound in my room now I'm no longer looking to replace the Chora's any time soon.As audiophiles know every room and speaker pairing is different. So I don't know if you will see the kind of sonic improvement with your rig and space that I and others who bought these isolators have experienced. But if you do, you will not be disappointed.This product is HIGLY RECOMMENDED!
