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.

Your experience sharing is much appreciated!

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

Isoacoustics has new products which, I believe, are superior to the very good Gias.

The Aperta. They appear to be superior to the Gias and the Oreas. Seem closer to the Townshend Podiums at a fraction of the price. Instead of solid rubber between the steel the Apertas have a good amount of flexible rubber in a vibration absorbing devise. They sell them on Amazon Prime. 30 day return.

@stibi what you need to do with Magicos is to email Isoacoustics support and tell them the make and model of the speaker you have if none of their included hardware fits. They will send you the hardware you need free of charge. I did that for my Magico A3s and when I put them on my Monoprice speakers stands, I emailed Isoacoustics and they sent me the proper hardware again, free of charge. They aren’t the fastest to respond via email. But they do respond and follow through. 
 

But once again, I replaced the Gaia Is with the Townshend Podiums. The Podiums are not leaving.

@kingbarbuda I am also going for the Townsend podiums for my Magicos. Do you have you A3s on the podiums using the original magico spikes and pads or on the speaker base without spikes?
