Has anyone had any personal experience using these products? Regardless of your particular speaker.

The brand is well known in the pro audio field and the reviews seem great but, curious if any forum members are users /owners of these feet on their speakers.

If so, were they a worthwhile upgrade over your stock speaker feet?

Thanks
 
I sometimes use their four inch high stands and place them on either the desktop for speakers I use with my computer (Kef x300a) or on top of speaker stands and under monitors to get the monitors to the correct height and provide excellent vibration dampening. These stands were relatively inexpensive. Around $100.
 
Couple friends using gaia2 on speAkers, they say it s a must.
The other orea range is fantastic as well!
Buy confidently!

Hi, I have the Gaia III. Honestly there is a very noticeable change in my set. I really like these legs of IsoAcoustics.

Thanks. I assume a change for the better.

if so , what improvements are you hearing with the Gaia over the stock feet?

What I like the most is: cleaner, controlled and deep bass. Another advantage, the sound a little more open.
 
I have Gaia I and Gaia II on my (2) pairs of Dynaudio, along with IsoAcoustics carpet spikes. Highly highly recommended. Bass tightens up, resolution increases, sound becomes more holographic/improved sense of depth. IMO, very reasonably priced. Much better bang for buck than Stillpoints (I own both). Orea Indigo under my turntable did same thing. Today, a gaggle showed up for the rest of my gear ......

I apologize to mdp632, I do not want to disprove the subject, but I take this thread to make an inquiry. Since we are talking about the "magical" legs :). I use the legs of Bfly audio for the Lumin. Honestly I do not notice any difference in sound, it may be because the Lumin is quite light (3Kg), I bought them to give a little more body to Lumin, Now my question: For my amplifier that makes and model advise me? I have an Accuphase E370. Thank you.

I also have the Gaia I under my speakers with outstanding results. I also have the OREA Bronze under my Aurender N100H. Be very careful with how you choose the specific and amount of Orea’s you use. I started with 4 Orea’s under my N100H and the sound was dull. I removed one and what a transformation. My N100H weighs 10.14 lbs so I’m thinking about adding some sort of weight to the top to see if I get additional benefits.

Each Orea Bronze should be used from 4 to 8 lbs. So for example if you component weighs 12 lbs better only use 3 Orea Bronzes.

Very highly recommended.

Hi @Audiophilehi - I noticed that you own VSA VR 5 Anni Mk2s. I own the same, are your speakers sitting on a hard surface or carpet? I am considering Gaia Is, but my system is in a concrete floor basement with pad and carpet, and wondering if they are still effective on a concrete floor?

Thanks
Lou
 
I started with Aperta 200 under my Monitor Audio PL100 on a desktop, and the improvement was dramatic. Then I decided to add Gaia II under my Thiel CS3.7 on the main system and also dramatic improvement. I am very satisfied with Iso Acoustics feet so far. I am yet to try their Orea feet under the electronics, since it was reviewed their effect is less noticeable.

Lou, I am confused. Are your speakers on concrete or carpet & pad over concrete?

Hi Lou,

Hi Lou.....as stated in a PM. My VSA's are on a hardwood floor. I don't believe that the concrete floors will make a difference as far as the Gaia's go. The Gaia's can be purchased with carpet discs as well. See link below. I highly recommend the Gaia's. They made a significant improvement.

As far as the subs I never had the pleasure of listening to a REL subwoofer but I do love my JLAudio sub. It wasn't difficult at all to integrate but you do need to spend a little time with it.

Hope this helps,

Paul

My Gaia Is came in yesterday (along with the carpet spikes) (I do not have enough posts to include pics)...

By the time I installed them it was late, so I was only able to listen for about 30 mins. Man oh man, the VR 5s sound sooo much larger with these underneath. More open sound stage, and definitely a sense better clarity. I will listen more over the coming days, but so far (based on 30 minutes) they do make a nice improvement.
