Thiel VS Green Mt

After listening to lots of speakers I still have not heard anything I like better than my Thiel CS 2.3s although the Gallo Nuc. Ref. 3s were close. I am at the point where only time/phase accurate speakers will do for me. I am very interested in the Green Mt Callistos but there are no dealers less than an 8 hr drive away. Has anyone compared these two speakers? I have a REL sub so the limited low end of the Callisto is not a worry. About the only thing I would like to change with my Thiels is the slight brightness on many recordings.

Green Mountain Audio has a in home demo program. It does require a down payment that is refundable on return. Contact Janet or Roy at GMA. They are happy to talk to you.
I have found no brightness in my Callisto's. They are worth your time to check these out.

i don't think you'll find much better than the thiel 2.3(my refference speaker) except for the cs-6 and 7.2(these 2 require much more space to get the most). i am running the 2.3 w/a pass labs x-350, x-2. Harm Tech pro silway II's and pro-9 speaker cables. I have auditioned and heard my speakers over the years and i have yet to hear anything like them.

I'm not sure if the Hyperion 938s are within your budget ($4500 retail but dealer dicounts are available), but I can pretty much gaurantee a huge improvement. I have heard the Thiel 2.3 and their higher models. If there is no dealer near you, Hyperion, I think, will offer in home trial minus shipping. You won't have brightness problems with the Hyps unless you have really cheap electronics.
