Thiel Owners

Help...I have a pair of CS5's that have been boxed up for last 6 years- and cannot find the spikes. I have hardwood floors and curious if anyone has ideas on the best reasonably priced platform/spike/outrigger/? Thanks in advance

@ovinewar1 - I use Gaia II footers on my Thiel 3.7s and it made a nice difference.  I have an area rug so I bought the Gaia carpet spikes.  I believe (not 100% sure) that Sound Anchors used to make some of the stands/outriggers for Thiel (https://www.soundanchors.com/products/bymanufacturer)

Thanks to all for the responses. Kind of bummed; I hooked them up today and one of the woofers is muddying up the sound. I will reach out to the Coherent guys to see if a fix is available. It took three young men to carry them up my stairs so I don’t want to take them in for repair- it will have to be me removing the driver and sending in. I forgot how heavy these things are.
