Keep in mind only so much can youtube capture from playing music on a video camera but....
Increased soundstage depth was drastic, and it was slightly more clear and dynamic.
A lot of internet forum posts agree about depth and said bass improves, louder and tighter. In some cases the sound gets worse.
I'd rather advice from SF owning peers though.

I've seen live A/B demos of Gaia on Focal floor standers *
(918s, I think) and the difference is pretty noticeable in a positive way. The bass seems to clear up and image floats better. They're a solid product. I have not heard them on Olympica or any other SF, but in general, I tend to prefer Gaia or Stillpoints to spikes on any surface I've heard them on. JMHO.
EDIT: *Focal Aria 948 was the model number of the demo I saw.
