Thiel Owners

Arvin - FWIW, the design ear height is 3' and distance 10'. Closer than 10' means greater sensitivity to height. But, some folks prefer the more mellow presentation of lower listening heights.

Feeling bored ?
Would you like to make a FREE improvement to the listening pleasure thru your Thiel speakers ?

I went into my speakers to see , take pictures  and prepare for the
re-wiring of the speakers and crossovers , the wire used by
Thiel is 18 awg and is constructed as 2 wire bundles running parallel .
I pulled the wire apart seperating them
and received a pleasant unexpected surprise , 
how could doing so little make a detectable difference , yet it did !

Go into your speaker thru the passive radiator
and pull or seperate the wire bundles apart ,
you can reach the incoming from the speaker post , 
the mid and tweeter up to the first cabinet brace 
and the bass all the way to the speaker .

@tomthiel
Since you gave my speaker cable idea a try and found that 
it offered an improvement you know I'm not being totally crazy with my suggestions.
maybe you could try this on one of your speakers that you experiment on.

Rob - please remind me what model speakers you have. The separation that you are describing was, in my day, standard practice. We always separated the twisted pairs to reduce capacitive coupling of the wire runs. Has anyone else noticed whether their runs were parallel or separated? I would like to figure out what's going on.

Happy Sunday Tom

I'm glad to hear it was standard practice.

I have CS2.7s  ,  
the wire says " GSC Wire & Cable Pro Speaker Wire Oxygen Free Copper Wire " 18 awg running parellel not twisted  ,
Rob mentioned 3 twist per inch  ,
to bad we can't attach pictures .

Rob - that sounds like someone replaced your original wire. Thiel wire was unmarked Straightwire (oxygen-free, 3 twists / inch, teflon jacket,etc.) . Did you buy the speakers second hand?
