@ronkent I've owned the Diablo 300 during a year with my 3.7s and didn't like the presentation at all. Its was pretty harsh sounding and the bass was lean. I now use a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 which is class A, this integrated is in a different league ...

@ronkent  Can you please let us know if you had the right threading included in your Gaia kit for the 3.7 outriggers. I would also like to try the Gaia ll footers eventually.

I'm probably going to the crossover upgrade on my 3.7s next year, it is really worth it if you plan on keeping them for many more years.  
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
I've heard the Joseph Perspective 2 paired with Vitus RI-101 Mk2 integrated amp. Very engaging speakers and very impressive bass for the size. Definitely a great speaker that i would consider.

@ronkent  Didn't you lose any bass with the Gaia footers under your 3.7s ? Richer sound is a very good thing for 3.7s as they can sometimes sound lean. Paired with the BHK 300 they must sound fantastic. I will definitely upgrade to monoblocks a...

@dr3 What amp are you using to drive your 3.7s ? It is indeed pretty difficult to get good bass with 3.7s if your amp doesn't deliver enough current. A good pair of high current monoblocks is usually what works best.  
Qobuz or Tidal?
I started with Qobuz a couple of years ago but decided to add Tidal because some titles were missing in Qobuz. If you can afford it better to have both IMO. I mostly do streaming with a Roon Rock NUC and HQPlayer core.

@dr3 A friend of mine told me i might lose some bass if i use Gaia footers. Since they are not cheap i'm not willing to take the risk. Any thoughts ?  
Integrated amp for Thiel 3.7's
If you guys want my take on Gryphon to drive CS 3.7s well it’s not a good choice. I’ve had a Diablo 300 for a year and sold it because it was too bright and too lean sounding. I now have a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 class A, this is in a different league...

Do some of you guys use Isoacoutics Gaia ll footers under your Thiels ?  
streamer need...........
For Qobuz and Tidal just get what i have, Aqua LinQ with HQPlayer module and a Roon Rock NUC.

@drack1 with that amp i would definitely get a pair of 3.7s if you can find one.

@tomthiel Thanks so much for the story.  
When people upgrade from Thiel
I agree very difficult to upgrade from Thiel speakers. I sold my first pair of 3.7s in 2020 but my wife and i missed them so much that we decided buy another pair in early 2021. My plan is to upgrade pre-power and DAC in the futur but not the Th...

@vair68robert Thanks yes it's a beautiful dark Amberwood finish. My previous 3.7s were not as dark, i much prefer this darker Amberwood.
