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.

I’ve Gaias on my Magico A3’s which are on a solid 3/4" oak floor. The bass response tightened up most noticeably, and the sound stage instruments and vocals became more defined relative to one another. If you read the ads and reviews for the Isoacoustic Gaias they surprisingly accurately describe the results I got from them. I thoroughly researched the Gaias and many of their competitors. I’m still amazed they lived up to the advertising and reviews as I’m pretty cynical, and when does that ever happen?

If money was no object I might have gone with the Townsend pods but they are pretty massive looking which can be a drawback if your speakers are in a living space. I was so impressed with the Gaias, I’ve now their equivalent pods under all my components to good effect. I’m guessing you’d be pleased too. I didn’t notice any harshness added to the treble response like fpomposo noted above.
