Not at my age! Inside the kiln, basically the top of the chimney. Now a bedroom with a very high ceiling.

Your Kudos are surely very lucky in such a space.

The Gaia Is are now installed with the help of a mate.
Sound is totally different. Like Wow! Everything sounds alot clearer and wider soundstage.
I had to put speakers on their side and partially loosen the plinth in order to get the original spikes removed feom the plinth. Once this is done it is easy to fit the Gaia Is then levelled them out. And then put logos on front or 180 degrees to the rear.

Put a ( second hand) set under my PMCs, and yes a real change in sound. Much cleaner mids at the expense of mid bass? Tweaked my sub up a bit to compensate, but much prefer the cleaner mid and top.

Getting used them but I would say there is a lot more clarity and less bass distortion in the room. Sounds more three dimensional.
Certainly a big change in sound and separation.

I found the same with Gaias on my Sopra 2s. Enjoy the upgrade!

I found that, together with the oft reported widening of the soundstage, I also gained a huge increase in the back to front depth as well.
Instruments seemed to be placed just where you would expect them to be.
Great piece of kit.

Damn
I need Gaias
If fine tuning was better - I would long have tried them. My tile floor is very uneven and to make the speakers non-rocking with Gaia aligned correctly is ⊠very very difficult

Its easier to level in a solid floor than a carpeted one. Bought mine second hand, but was surprised at the clarity they brought.

My floors are carpeted and uneven. They are levelled out as best I could, trying to maintain a decent thread of stud going into the plinth and the Gaia Is. Speakers are very heavy and had to loosen plinth to get the original spikes out which are built into the plinth.
Making adjustments isnât easy and maintaining the logo forward or 180 degrees backwards. But the results are worth more than the cost of the Gaia Is.
And once the carpet spikes setltle in they wonât wobble quite as much. But I think the slight wobble is part of what the Gaiaâs do with the isolation.
Installation on uneven carpeted floors is possible but not that easy!

Having speakers that wobble donât feel right. But, the sound is impressive.

The Fraim wobbles as well. If you wobble it. Speakers are settling down with carpet spikes sinking in! Bit of wobble nevertheless! But they are not rocking!
Might have to have a Jah Wobble sessionâŠnowđ

You could alway put a wooden plinth underneath them Dan.
Also, my wooden floors are very uneven. I had them sanded and re-varnished a few years ago and the guy did a pretty poor job by over sanding in many placesâŠI gave up trying to get my Gaiaâs exactly level and after a while I noticed they actually level themselves off a bit anyway with the way the isolation works 
Edit - my Fraim also wobbles but only if someone walks overly heavy footed nearby it, or if I give it a slight nudge at the top (I have only ever done this to check it is solid and get reassurance mind you!).
