Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers

The reviewer sounds a little tongue tied. I can easily imagine there might have been some mistakes in set up. No offense.

@avhifidelity ,Did you install the Gaias per the instructions? The logo should be EXACTLY facing forward or backward. Did you tighten the nuts? Ironically Focals floor standers are the most widely used ones in Gaia demos.My experience is different than yours. In my case, the imaging tightened up and the bass gained tightness. But the most significant change was a "naturalness" to the sound.

Yes, the logo is facing the front on all footers and nuts tighten.   The speakers are on Berber carpet, which is low profile carpet... not sure if using Gaia carpet spikes would make much of a difference.  
By the way, I did check out some of the comparisons on You Tube.  Check out this one, which is I think what Jim Austin at Stereophile commented, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SiloqE18DQ.  This is very similar to the difference I’m hearing on the Focal1038BE. 
I would be curious to know the experience of others in comparing to this demo, if you are hearing much greater sound difference.

Took them off and sent back to the dealer. They weren’t an improvement in my system... Just sounded diffused, floating, at the expense of center imaging and texture in the vocals...chalking it up to personal taste, unfortunately not mine.

Does anyone know if the Isoacoustics Gaia require break in after installation to sound good? If yes, approximately how many days? Installed on speakers.
