KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA?

I’ve posted before about my KEF Reference 5 speakers.  I’ve been experimenting with placement and found that moving them farther apart made a big improvement.  I also am trying the suggestions—I believe by Audiotroy— to toe the speakers inward some more to tame the treble. I love how the KEFs reproduce piano and cello music but violins sound too harsh and screechy for my taste.  I think the toe in helps.  Also, the violin sound may just be a result of the digital (CD) source.  I will see how violins sound on vinyl.  

One question.  I’ve been considering the Isoacoustics Gaia or pucks.  My speakers are on a hardwood floor, currently resting on the included spikes.   I’ve been in contact with Isoacoustics and they can provide a threaded rod to fit the outrigger of the KEFs if I go withnthe Gaia.  Has anyone tried these Isoacoustics products with KEF Reference 5s?  If so, I’d appreciate your thoughts.   Audiotroy, I woud be very interested in your experience.  I know that these products probably won’t impact the treble but may tighten up the bass.

D2girls-if there were a rule about off topic posts then you would be gone too!

I was hoping for some advice about using the Gaias with my KEF Reference 5 speakers.  Instead, this has turned more into rants about dealers, who should post where, and other unrelated things.  How about this idea:  people should be free to post what they want and people are free to read—or not read—whatever they want?  D2, I personally don’t want you deciding what I can and can’t read and I doubt that others want you to be the judge of such things. That’s  the end result of your proposals.  Also, as I’ve mentioned, maybe you need to chill out a little.  This is supposed to be fun!  

As for Audio Doctor, I also have found them to be very helpful.  I don’t really blame a dealer for recommending products he sells.  Hopefully he sells them because he likes them.  I don’t blame a dealer for trying to attract customers as long as he is not too aggressive about it.  

I will await your attacking me.
