(54Kg). Finished in an elegant machined dark chrome metal housing, the GAIA II incorporates IsoAcoustics’ patented design principles to deliver extraordinary acoustic results. GAIA II provides a high degree of isolation while resisting lateral movement and oscillations to maintain alignment with the listening position. Internal reflections from the hard-supporting surface are attenuated resulting in greater sound clarity and openness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe soundstage blossoms to open up a three-dimensional image of natural, spatial sound with more openness and clarity, while reducing structural-borne noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAward-Winning Performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStereophile\u003c\/em\u003e magazine honored GAIA III with a Product of the Year Award in its 2018 Editor's Choice Awards issue. \"Install IsoAcoustics GAIAs, replacing whatever footers your speakers came with.

Harry Weisfeld, founder of VPI Industries and Dipinjeet Sehdev of KEF America immediately heard tighter bass, more clarity, and a wider soundstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eHarry Weisfeld later said, \"Installing the GAIA isolators on my KEF Blades gave the biggest improvement in sound I have ever heard on the system. Better than changing cables or electronics, the noise floor was lower, the focus was better, and the bass went deeper. All around a total success.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"I Continue to Be Impressed and Amazed\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIsoAcoustics GAIA I isolators are installed under the B\u0026amp;W 802 D2 speakers in the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s new renovated Control Room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eI am tremendously impressed with what the GAIA isolators are able to achieve,\" reports Nick Squire, Head Recording Engineer, Boston Symphony Orchestra. \"Typically, I tend to be very skeptical, but after hearing them, I was immediately blown away by the difference the GAIAs produced. After a few weeks of having them installed and putting them to the test during our most recent BSO recording at Symphony Hall, I continue to be impressed and amazed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Tighter Bass and Lower Midrange, with Greater Focus and Depth\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Instruments and voices were more precisely defined on the soundstage, which itself was wider and higher,\" reports \u003cem\u003eStereophile\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, October 2017. \"A remarkable product.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"With every track, I consistently heard tighter bass and lower midrange, with greater focus and depth,\" writes Bob Barrett, \u003cem\u003eHomeTheaterReview.com\u003c\/em\u003e, March 14, 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"They allow the speakers to sound more tactile, resolute, spacious and natural, adding tone and timbre and increasing timing performance,\" reports Dan Worth for \u003cem\u003eHifiPig.com\u003c\/em\u003e, which honored the GAIA I with an Outstanding Product Award.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Will Beneficially Improve the Sound\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"When speaker companies like PSB, Marten, and RBH all include IsoAcoustics feet as standard on their flagship loudspeakers, it has to be for a good reason,\" observes Carlo Lo Rasso, \u003cem\u003eSecrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity\u003c\/em\u003e March 23, 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"From this experience, I think that there is a better than average chance the IsoAcoustic Gaia II isolation feet will not only add to the looks of your speakers but will beneficially improve the sound. They did for me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEasy to Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eGAIA II is easy to use. Optimal results are achieved by installing the GAIA isolators 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 lower isolators will adhere to the supporting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThreaded for the Strongest Connection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe GAIAs are threaded into the base of the speaker or subwoofer to replace the existing spikes or feet. Threading the GAIAs into the base of the speaker creates a strong connection with the speaker. With the top of the GAIA housing connected with the speaker and the bottom of the GAIA connected to the supporting surface, all of the energy is then managed by the GAIAs internal isolator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe GAIA II includes thread adaptors for sizes M6-1.0, M8-1.25 and 1\/4\"-20. The GAIA thread adaptors have two sides. Side 1 is installed into the base of the speaker, and the thread size of Side 1 matches the speaker thread size. Side 2 is installed into the GAIA housing., and the thread size for Side 2 matches the thread size of the GAIA housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\"Improved the Top to Bottom Performance\"\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"In every instance the GAIA isolators improved the top to bottom performance of my two reference setups,\" reports Theo Nicolakis, \u003cem\u003eaudioholics.com\u003c\/em\u003e November 19, 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"My experience with the GAIA was so overwhelmingly positive that I’m going to do something that I don’t often do with review gear – make it a permanent part of my personal setup going forward.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IsoAcoustics","offers":[{"title":"New \/ 4 Set \/ New","offer_id":45982746706093,"sku":"NEW-IAGAIAII-4S","price":339.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New \/ 4 Set \/ Demo","offer_id":45982746738861,"sku":"DEMO-IAGAIAII-4S","price":248.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/IAGAIAII_4_01-Large__04369.1732634311.1280.1280_b25a7e6d-3ba3-4c65-886d-e328d9460f19.jpg?v=1778118678","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/isoacoustics-gaia-ii-speaker-isolators-set-of-4","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
