I’ve had my Olympica lls on the pods for quite some time now.
Having a listen this afternoon at live sound volume and listening to different types of music, with the stock spikes I’d have large amounts of bass frequency being transmitted into my suspended floor that I’d feel through my feet. With the Gaias fitted, there is no transfer that I can detect. The three spikes on the cups aren’t long enough to pierce right through the carpet let alone a springy underlay but are optimally angled to grip the carpet and prevent lateral movement and the speakers feel and sound really solidly planted as a result. There’s a definite increase in imaging accuracy and the space between instruments gives a real depth to the soundstage. I don’t think they don’t look quite as elegant as the spikes, but it’s a small trade off.
Very pleased with the results.
