Thiel Owners

Hi All,

I would like to update on my Thiel CS7.2 fitting Gaia I Floor standing.

When I opened the box, Gaia I comes with thread adaptors for the 3 most common thread sizes which fit the majority of speakers BUT not for Thiel Speakers. Anyway, I can request for the Threads fitting to Thiel Speaker, which I need to request from distributor. It take more than 1-2 months and I can’t wait for it.

Therefore, I had an idea to create custom ’Outrigger’ that can fit my speaker.

As you know, I have Audia Flight ST4+ST1 Power and Pre Amp. They also recently introduce hi-end floor stand speakers to the market using name ’Alare Labs’. I quite admire their products and designs. I used their design.

I started measuring the distance between each spike and draw the design manually. I brought the design to lathe factory near by and explained my design.

1 week later, I went and picked up the outriggers and test fit to the speaker. They are perfectly fit.

I used Galvanic flat black Painting and spray. So, they become black.

Here is some pictures that I fitted the Gaia I to Thiel CS 7.2 Speakers. Enjoy!!

Give me 1-2 weeks to listen and I will give you again Full review on the sound impact.

jafant,

The 2.7 is a gem also. The 2.4 and 2.7 sound very different. So having both is a great option if you can get two separate rooms fitted. 

Tom,

I was referencing "cost nothing" doing the soldering/pigtail not the Electra outputs. 

The Electra ad an obvious cost especially if used at outboard and amps.

We have the same finish on our CS 7.2. Glad you figured out a platform for them.

When I get the time I also will be designing and manufacturing a speaker base for them.

Thanks for sharing everyone.  

Hi jafant - Here is a post that might be worth reviewing: Beetlemania 2019 Summary

He also posted "Relevant posts begin January or February, 2018. I made my final changes about one year later." (Link)

Should provide some reference to further search.

Thank you for the update. Good to read  about another fan and owner of Audia Flight. What cables/cords are you enjoying?

Happy Listening!

Duramax - How would you characterize the sonic differences between the 2.4 and 2.7? Anyone else can also chime in too. Thanks.
