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.

I have the Thiel CS2.4's - oh and I have a REL 328 as well. I initially struggled a bit with brightness.  It it was not the speakers. My final combination was a tube preamp (BAT  VK3ix) with a SS amp with high current ability (Parasound A21). I know the Parasound isn't as glamorous as some other amps but boy does it get the job done. Also the REL sub helps the bottom end be more in overall tonal balance since the Thiels don't have deep thunderous bass. The final piece was using Purist speaker cable and Cardas Clear light interconnects. 

I dont know know if this helps but I hope it gives you some thoughts
