    Gaia Feet For Giya

    I added the 2's two my Giya 3's, the bass has really improved. The overhang and thickness was just cleared out. I didn't even know it was there. Everything thus far after 2 months in immensely improved. Anyone else using?

    I am using the Gaia 2’s on my Vivid G2S2.
    They have been in place from day 1, so I cannot comment on how the speakers sound without them.

    Not, a Vivid owner but, a Gaia user who wanted to chime in.

    Yes, I just recently (a few weeks ago ) purchased and installed the Gaia 2s on my YG Carmel speakers. Up until then, I was using the stock feet/spikes for a few years.

    Wow! What a difference, nothing taken away and everything gained.

    I wish I purchased the Gaias sooner as the positive improve to the sound relative to the cost was a no a brainer.

    Easily the most improvement my system has had for the least amount of money spent.

    I've read that a few loudspeaker manufacturers have indeed now collaborated with Iso Acoustics and install the Gaias on their speakers at the factory.

    Others should take note a follow suit but, I'm sure there are always the skeptics.

    In conclusion, the Gaias have taken away nothing from the presentation but, improved upon it in every direction.

    A serious no-brainer upgrade regardless of speaker you own.

    I also use the G3s on my Fynes with similar results as above. There is a Focal demo video on Youtube where they have 2 of the same pairs of speakers, one with and one without and an A/B output switch of the same amp. Even in a youtube video it is a convincing change.

    found it

    Yes 6 per speaker.
    The main reason I am using the Gaia 2’s is due to my upstairs room having a suspended floor.
    Otherwise the Vivid’s do not transmit a lot of low frequency energy through the footers with the opposing woofer design.
    The Gaia footers are reasonably priced, so based on my prior experience with them I knew they could be beneficial.
