Further information: I purchased these footers brand new last week on 12th August. Selling because they don't fit my speakers properly. The screw holes on the base of my speakers too shallow...hence I am not able to get enough turns for adequate coupling. The GAIA 1 are recommended for speakers or Sub-woofers weighing up to 100KG. I prefer pick up. Pick up available from North Sydney during business hours OR from Baulkham Hills after hours. Price is firm...as they are already reduced by over 20% from RRP.

I picked up a couple sets of the Gaia 3 units (support speakers up to 32kg) yesterday and set them up last night on my PSB Synchrony One towers (not without a few curse words along the way). I'd been hearing a lot of good things about them, so decided to bite. Early signs are very positive so far. Played a number of my regular tracks and all sounded more open and bigger than they ever have. For those that aren't aware, Iso Acoustics have done speaker isolation for studio monitors for years, though I believe these Gaia units are their first real dip into the world of home hi-fi speakers. The idea behind them: “When a speaker is placed on a hard surface, secondary internal reflections result. Any artifacts of this smear that is similar in the two channels is perceived to be in the center, causing the sound stage to collapse. The GAIA series of isolators eliminates this smear resulting in a larger 3-dimensional sound stage.” They seem to be spring loaded in some way/shape or form as upon initial installation, I was a little nervous about the 'wobble', but after some time toying with them it appears that is how they are meant to be. Will do more listening over the weekend, but so far pretty happy with the investment! One word of caution, the base of the Gaia Isolators appear to be some sort of sorbothane/similar material and thus left some 'moisture' marks on my bluestone slabs that I sit the speakers on. Not an issue for me, but could be for someone putting on expensive floors. More details about them can be found here.
