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 three-dimensional sound stage. Using GAIA I Isolators, the soundstage blossoms to open up a three-dimensional image of natural, spatial sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOptimal results are heard by installing these units with the logo facing the listening position, or rotated 180 degrees, to align the isolators with the speaker’s motive forces, lift and place the speakers into position as the GAIA I lower isolator will adhere to the supporting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"All Around A Total Success,\" Notes Harry Weisfeld\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIsoAcoustics was pleased to be invited to one of VPI Industries’ listening rooms to demo the GAIA I’s under a pair of KEF Blades.
