Yes. The time-coherent design offers a rich timbre that is not easily found in other Loudspeaker brands. Jim's speakers are quite unique.
Happy Listening!

I have spent time with the Focal Sopra 2. It does compete (not better than) Thiel Audio CS 2.4, CS 2.4 SE, CS2.7, CS 3.7 and Wilson Audio Sabrina/Sabrina X.
Perhaps the Sopra 3 takes on CS 3.7 and Wilson Audio models above the Sabrina/SabrinaX up to DAW?
Very similar to a Thiel Audio loudspeaker, in that, careful Gear matching is key to avoid excessive brightness from the Tweeter.

Good to see you here today. Greetings. Now, to address your query. There is the original Thiel Audio Outriggers (spiked base) to consider. Sound Anchor might be an option? Stay tuned until a member of the Panel's CS 2.7 owners chimes in as well.

Good to see you as always. Thank You for the PS Audio DSD DAC II. update.
There are several PS Audio threads here on the 'Gon that could benefit from your expertise.

Season's Greetings! Thank You for a brief update. Cabling (wire) is the forgotten component. I have been saying this for years with great Passion. I am looking forward in reading more about your findings via experimentation.

No- Only the Outriggers. My pair has Spikes that can be affixed to the metal base.
I have seen Sound Anchors with spikes as well. Not sure about Herbie's Audio Lab?

Thank You for the CS2.7 and Outriggers confirmation. During my auditions, my ears could not discern a difference with/without Outriggers on the CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 Models. Still, it is pretty cool to own.

Right On! both accounts. Enjoy the Holiday season.

Thank You for posting about Soundcity. I knew that I was missing One company.
Sound Anchor, Soundcity and Thiel Audio make (3).

Always good to see you here. Yes! Sound Anchor fits 3.6 and CS 2.4 models nicely.
I am uncertain about other Thiel speakers? I hope that you are well and still building those wonderful wood Racks/Stands.

Very insightful of you to offer this service. No doubt that there will be customers for an Isolation base and Outriggers. It is important to preserve the Thiel legacy.

The 1st pair of CS 2.4 that I auditioned had Walnut finish.

Thank You for the follow up. I started out as a Music Lover as well. Then graduated to Audiophile or the best playback system for the music. Good to see another Audia Flight fan/owner. I have always wanted to demo their gear. Goldmund too!

for those interested in Straight Wire cables/cords, there is a nice write up over on
Positive Feedback.com In the article/review, there is a "click Here" that will link the reader to Straight Wire website. At the website there is a section to enter your Stereo/ H/T gear for a system evaluation. Very cool feature. I know that we have a few fans/owners of this brand on The Panel.

Your ears do not deceive. The DAW speaker starts to compete with modern Thiel Audio loudspeakers. To my ears, Wilson Audio model Alexx V($135K) will crush any Thiel speaker at a substantial price-point. This is a Testament from Jim's vision.

That is a seriously good wiring infrastructure.
I know that you endorse Pass Labs power amps.
What other gear will round out the Front End?

Thank You for the follow up. I am looking forward in reading more about the gear surrounding those 7.2 speakers. At your level, Cabling is paramount.
Agreed, One will spend a significant amount of Money to better a Thiel Audio loudspeaker.
