Alternatives to the Thiel Outriggers?


I need suggestions for replacing the Thiel Outriggers on a pair of CS1.6's. What looks, and more importantly, sounds better.

I worked for a Thiel dealer up until a year ago..The outriggers are really just a device to keep the speakers more upright most of the time..they do nothing to improve the sound..I am now a independent dealer and sell Starsound products..Audiopoints and Sistrum..They both greatly improve the sound of all loudspeakers including all the Thiel products..Tom
Which models are they?..Do you have the APCD discs as well?..Those platforms will work under many different pieces of electronics as well..A friend of mine just purchased a pair of SP1's to place under his Halcro pre and power..The improvement was amazing. I sell Starsound products..Tom
Dan use the discs under the points if you place the platform on wood, glass or plastic shelving..The upper points only require the discs if your component is very light in weight say 10 lbs. or less or if you feel you need to protect the underneath surface of the component. The results without the discs on the top points is greater focus...but you have to have a reasonable amount of mass on top to do so..I have found the discs increase the effective mass of lightweight components on top and therefore gain greater focus. I'd would be happy to help if needed..Tom
The resonance if given a singular path can be more easily discarded ..in an audible sense..Audiopoints or Sistrum provide such a path.. The closer to the original source the better ..Do not add any further mass or dampening..If you do, you will have multicolored results.Tom
Barry we need to get together on neutral ground and compare the two product types we believe to be the best..Tom.. I am a Starsound dealer.
