I have Gaia II under my Apollos, and I quite like them. I haven’t compared them to other systems - including Lou’s isolation devices which I also own.

Hello mresseguie

How did you place the Gaia II under the speakers? Are they screwed directly under the speakers? 
If I replaced the Gaia with the current spikes on the Daedalus base, I would achieve a further lowering of the speakers, which would create an alignment problem between my ears and the tweeters. Besides the fact that I don't know if this is feasible, do you happen to know what thread pitch the Soundcity tips on the Daedalus base have?

Thanks for your input.

Regards, Dario

Dario,

It's been years since I installed the Gaia II, so I don't recall if I used adapters or not. I also don't know the pitch. Why don't you address your questions to Lou Hinkley? He's very helpful.

Thank you Mresseguie for your reply.

I will ask Lou directly for some suggestions, because the idea of taking the Ulysses down from the stands without certainty of installing the Gaia, with the risks of moving the speakers, discourages me from doing it without assurance of a successful replacement with the Gaia. Moreover, there is still the situation of further lowering the speakers, which goes against the logic of raising the tweeters a bit to better align them with ear level...

Don't place too much emphasis on aligning the tweeter at ear level. That's a consideration during the speaker design process, but it's neither practical nor necessary in a typical listening environment, given the myriad of other more relevant factors, such as room acoustics, speaker positioning, speaker angle/tilt, driver dispersion and directivity, etc.
