IsoAcoustics Gaia w/MAGICO


Hi,

I plan to order Gaia I for MAGICO S1 Mk2.

MAGICO has closed back design with no bass port. There is no chance to listen this kind of tweak before ordering. I am afraid footers could worsen SQ because of loudspeaker’s design. MAGICOs reside on hardwood/concrete flooring  

Can someone share (real life) experience on this one?
Thx.

and I put them under my speakers which are the monitor audio platinum 200 Gen 2 and it was like changing all the electronics the room problems didn't even matter anymore if you have any.

there's something that's much better than the Gaia, it's a lot more expensive though it's called the Townshend podiums, everyone that's tried both has said that the podiums are in a different League better than the Gaia but they're also three times more money.

the cabinet will still vibrate from the base as well as from the earth vibration the problem with the guy they only isolate down to 20 HZ the Earth vibrations are less than 5 Hertz so you're still going to get the speaker's vibrating from the earth vibration and you'll get smearing in the highs from that, the Townshend podiums isolate down to three Hertz so they isolate all the Earth vibrations from getting to your speakers.

nekoaudio, you have no inkling of what you're talking about when you spike speakers to the floor the bass vibration goes through the floor and back up through the floor to the speakers and also the Earth vibration which is constant in the earth vibrates your speakers all the time, before you say stuff you should definitely do your research cuz it makes you look foolish when you don't know what you're talking about.

vule, I watched the whole video and they said the same thing that the Townshend podiums were the best at isolation and made the sound stage much wider and deeper and the mid range much more detail and open and the highs as well and I totally agree cuz I have them as well.
