    Magico A5?

    I have found it easy to get muddy bass out of an A5. Depending the amp I pair it with or the cabling I use. Still have a slight amount of muddiness left, but I am also not using the spikes yet (on a floating wood floor), and am very curious regarding the isoacoustics - which would be less...

    Are they the Gaia Titan Rhea or Theis? I've been eyeing the same solution, purely because spiked speakers are a pain to move on hardwood floors.

Currently not running on any equipment or the room they will ultimately be in. There are way too many variables...

    What about mid-bass? thats where my issues are at the moment, certain frequencies just seem far more prominent than they should be, making the whole thing almost sound boxy or ported.

    To those that have been through the new A5 break in period, what were the biggest changes after break in? I've got a fresh pair here, first few hours the bass seems really out of whack, as in bloated and lumpy, and the mids a bit veiled. Do these things tend to improve? I'm thinking these...
