Praggers Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 An interesting thread as I have Sopra 2's partnered with Naim amplification. There's quite a lot of positive comments posted on the Naim forum about the Gaia feet. Once I've upgraded my power supply for my pre amp this year, I think the Gaia's will be next on the list.

I run in parallel with a pair of Martin Logan BalanceForce 210 subs - I like bass! The difference in slam and imaging throughout the spectrum, not just bass, with Gaias throughout (I's on the speakers sitting on dedicated solid sheaok plinths, II's on each of the subs) was significant! Far less secondary floor propagation (I have a wooden floor so can feel that) as a result. Cleaned up the soundstage. Almost as much an improvement as introducing the Isotek Sigmas 6 and a dedicated Isotek Regen for the DAC an preamp to clean up the power supply. In short, they work! Prior to this I had my speakers sitting on Townshend seismic podiums. They seemed to reduce bass extension but were actually cleaning up the sound, but not to the same degree as the Gaias in my view. Hi Lozza, How did you find Sopra vs Amati? Which Amati did you have? All Amaties are very beautiful speakers, I suppose there must be something that you dont like thus changed to Sopra?

als Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Is that just a concrete base or something else? Did you make it yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, It's a Slate paver, 400 x 400 - not the prettiest but it's what I had - Hammer Barn has some nice Granite ones , but I can't be arsed moving my speakers again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICUToo Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Is it worth putting Gaia's under my subs? My main speakers roll off around 50Hz, and the room could do with some tighter bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice is yes - I have yet to read a bad report on the Gaia's I'm sure online research will back this up Here's some I just found on the 'bay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153377616791 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
