| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s Thanks @ozzy The bumps probably add 1/2” in height to the bottom plate, but the plate adds about 3” in the front and about 5” in width on the back and while there are currently No tubes in this system, I would still be concerned about it being ... | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name I stopped paying any attention to him a while ago and unsubscribed from his YouTube channel as well. He is way to over the top for me. My lord there are so many other reviewers out there I haven’t missed him a bit. JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s Oh @seanheis1 I did notice. 😁 | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @seanheis1 On my KEF’s, the Gaia’s raise the speakers maybe half an inch higher than the spikes. With the dispersion of the tweeters, I’m not sure there’s going to be much change in the sound. JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s Thanks @bdp24 for the reply. I understand now. JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @bdp24 “@curtousjim: No, the Townshend Podium does not screw into the holes of ANY loudspeaker or it's bottom plate. The Podium is just a metal plate with Pods bolted onto it. If you want to keep the Reference 5's bottom plate (I would), just i... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @ozzy The Reference 5’s have a heavy steel plate bolted to the bottom with small bumps where the spikes screw in. If I got the Townsend Platforms, would I remove my steel plate and sit it on their steel plate? Does the Townsend platform screw i... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s How much of a change should I expect to hear if I put pucks under My Hegel H390? It weighs 44 pounds so I will need 4 Orea Indigo pucks @$240. What are other options? JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @norton , I completely agree with you. I moved into a new to me home and started building a new system. When I bought my KEF Reference 5 speakers they were to heavy to move around on the fully carpeted room with the spikes on, so I left them of... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @mrskeptic The bottom of the stud is a standard 12 mm with a notch on either side to tighten it into the foot. Do you know anyone who knows how to weld? You can get a foot of the 12m and 1/4 20 all thread from Granger or Fastenal and for just a... | |
| Turn off or leave on? I turn everything off before I go to bed and turn everything on in the morning. I pass my equipment on the way to the coffee pot.😁 JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @mrskeptic While the kit comes with three different size studs and nuts, they did not fit my KEF speakers for two different reasons. I called Isoacoustics and told them what I had and they told me I needed( 8m 1.0 long studs) and UPS dropped the... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @bdp24, Following your plan would definitely save a bunch of money and I have the shop to build what I would need. I have another week on the Gaia’s, so I could go that route. @$560, that would definitely be a large savings. Thanks for the tip. ... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s Gosh, I sound like a Shill, but I guarantee all , that no one gave these to me! JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s I really was ready to return them and put the $1000 back on the card, but the change really was noticeable and in a good way. JD |
