Thiel Owners

I'm about to try the Isoacoustics Gaia 2 for my Thiel 2.7s.

I picked them up this week.

My 2.7s sit on a thick shag rug, covering a sprung wood floor.  I have tried all sorts of footers and isolation - Thiel spikes, Herbies gliders, cheap spring footers from amazon, expensive Townshend Isolation bars and more recently Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer platforms.  In every case I've preferred the sound of the Thiels sitting directly on the floor.  There is more connection to the sound and I like the timbre of the sound that way.  However, I do have a bit of bass warmth I'm trying to work out.   So I'll see how it goes with the Gaia.

I actually have had a set of 4 isoacoustic pucks which I'd bought to try under my turntable for isolation (I went with Townshend isopods instead).  At one point I put them under one of my speakers just to try out.  Didn't think much of what i heard (softer, darker sound).  But then, they weren't made specifically as speaker footers.

I'll report back how it goes with the Gaia.

(I don't have the outriggers for the 2.7s.  As I remember, I actually gave those outriggers to the person who bought my 3.7s, because I didn't have the outriggers for that speaker).

Hopefully the Thiels won't be too tippy with the Gaia.

I've experimented with a bunch of

Happy Friday! All

I'm also waiting for my Gaia 2 footers with the carpet disks, hope this will work out for my 3.7s.

Duramax747, some outriggers for the 2.4 would be awesome, I do not think Coherent Source has anymore left

Halifax,

I will need to digitize the Thiel outriggers and create a CAD model. From there the file will need to be programmed and posted to router. Set up and tooling also. This is all before the part is manufactured.

That time and cost needs to be absorbed in as many units as possible to drive the price down. The CS 2.4 has different screw mounts so that would need to be another CAD.
