I can't comment on the KEF speakers, but I just installed GAIA IIs under my Martin Logan Expression 13as yesterday, and after one night of listening I've determined they are staying there. I'd agree that the two areas I noticed an improvement were better image focus and tightened bass. I'm going to be getting a set for my subs now too. very happy.
KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA?
I’ve posted before about my KEF Reference 5 speakers. I’ve been experimenting with placement and found that moving them farther apart made a big improvement. I also am trying the suggestions—I believe by Audiotroy— to toe the speakers inward some more to tame the treble. I love how the KEFs reproduce piano and cello music but violins sound too harsh and screechy for my taste. I think the toe in helps. Also, the violin sound may just be a result of the digital (CD) source. I will see how violins sound on vinyl.
One question. I’ve been considering the Isoacoustics Gaia or pucks. My speakers are on a hardwood floor, currently resting on the included spikes. I’ve been in contact with Isoacoustics and they can provide a threaded rod to fit the outrigger of the KEFs if I go withnthe Gaia. Has anyone tried these Isoacoustics products with KEF Reference 5s? If so, I’d appreciate your thoughts. Audiotroy, I woud be very interested in your experience. I know that these products probably won’t impact the treble but may tighten up the bass.
