Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's

I leveled mine by the base. The top would be difficult to level because of the slanted top. With the Townshend's that would be not needed.

That is what I started out with, but in my room it drove me crazy that everyone sounded like they were sitting down, only after tilting them backwards the sound changed to a more realistic sound stage with performers standing.  And yes they were difficult to level by the top, as I said I had to make some longer studs to go into the front footers to accomplish it.  I have seen other demos with them tilted back, if fact that is where I got the idea to do that.  I have never really cared for the way they look tilted back so I may revisit leveling of the base to see what happens, in fact that is the way the guys a Upscale told me to level them when I bought them.  My biggest fear with the Townshends is everyone will sound like they are sitting again and I won't be able to do anything about it using those.  Oh well, I think I am going to tweak to see what I can come up with before I make a decision to either keep what I have or try something different.  Thanks for the advise.

I believe IsoAcoustics Gaia is a top choice, but Townsend is better- maybe the best- that’s what I intend to purchase 

vandy357,

That's what makes this hobby so interesting, there is always something we need to address.

The IsoAcoustics made a big difference in the sound of my Sopra’s over the factory spikes and I have been pretty happy with them, but I know there is probably something better out there. So far the Townshends are at the top of my list just from ozzy’s recommendation, especially since he is using them with the same speaker I have.
