We all know the value of isolation when it comes to getting the best from hi-fi electronics, but until you hear IsoAcoustics GAIAs in action, youll never know how much this applies to speakers, too. Proving theres life beyond the old faithful floor spikes, the cylindrical GAIA pods connect into the base of your speaker, isolating the cabinet from vibration while resisting any tendency for it to move. Typically, they have the effect of lowering the noise floor, improving soundstage focus and tightening up the bass. With a machined stainless steel housing finished in dark chrome, and able to support up to 100kg, the GAIAs look superb and what theyll do to your music is magical.
