Thiel Owners

@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 ?

Welcome! Good to see you today.  The original Outriggers are a Sonic match for the CS 3.7 speakers. If you feel the need to further isolate, use Outriggers.

 I have spent much time with this Model and it sounds fine with/without coupling.

I look forward in reading more about your Musical taste and system.

Happy Listening!

Black Friday-  All

I actually just ordered some Gaia 2 feet for my Thiel 2.7s.

I tried the Townshend Seismic speaker stands (spring based) and didn't totally get on with them.  They did reduce bass resonance and maybe the speakers disappeared a bit more, but also changed the tonality enough that I preferred the speakers directly on the floor.

The Gaia won't decouple the speakers as completely as the Townshend stands, so I'm hoping they sort of split the difference.  I'll let you guys know how it goes.

@jafant thanks for the warm welcome. Glad I finally discovered this group. Four years ago I lucked out on a beautiful pair of 3.7 for sale in Toronto (within driving distance) with outriggers.

I love the transparency of these speakers but I am at odds with the slightly lean bass (my room seems to suck out the mid-bass) so I am constantly trying different speaker cables because I do not have any EQ. I listen to a lot of jazz and blues-rock.  If I only listened to acoustic guitar I feel like there would be no problem 😉

Hans Beekhuyzen found the Gaias to work wonders, with sound scientific reason, but I already find the speakers dead accurate and not willing to lose any more bass!
