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.

These days I’ve been digging out a lot to find some answers. There are so many variables. I heard about Townshends but at this time I am targeting Gaya’s.

Here is a link and I kindly ask all of You to patiently watch a video and post some comments, pros and cons, agree or disagree with findings, personal opinion and finding that may differ from what is being discovered in video.

Thx.

Hi Robert,

Brilliant!
Thanks for Your active participation and everyone for bringing expertise  and experience around the table and engaging in such constructive exchanges.

Gaia’s are decouplers and MAGICOs have no bass reflex ports. This is exactly where all my doubts and considerations going to. 

perkri,

that’s true. It is an option.

but then due to shipment route

I’d be able to return them with significant financial loss.

Your experience sharing is much appreciated!

And yes, my loudspeakers are placed in living room too, on hard oak parquet.

havocman,

 

They were searching for perfection and re Townshands after the first wow impression at the end of a day they were not (completely)satisfied.

rhg88,

Thx for sharing experience.

As I said before I am puzzled by Magico’s box design and its synergy with IsoAcoustics.

Hi Robert,

Thx. for link.

Fast and Slow (de)coupling. Very interesting point. 

Trust that Alan W. is familiar with rip off price of his Pods here in Europe. Townshends are not option due to position of loudspeakers in living room. After checking return policy of Seller think I’ll give a try to Gaia’s and see whether they will work or not.
