Thiel Owners

@tomthiel, I might be a bit concerned about using tilt down. First from a balance perspective, might be precarious around toddlers and pets. And then there might be a concern with floor sound bounce and perhaps over emphasis of sonic boundary reinforcement?

unsound - agreed to these concerns. We are talking about perhaps a degree or so in a speaker that is already back-heavy and also has adjustabliity in the legs to extend them farther out in front if necessary. Thank you as always for your thoughts.

I guess a couple of degrees will be inconsequential.

There must be something to this idea of moving the XO away from the driver's into it's own enclosure. 

I have another set of speakers, maybe 30 years old, with the XO hidden in a false bottom. I'm sure it's cheaper & easier to just mount it behind the drivers.

Tom you might be intrigued by this odd XO. It's all capacitors. No resistors, no coils. All drivers are selected to have the same sensitivity, so no need for resistors for shelving. Caps hi-pass all drivers so they have to be well-behaved above their normal freq. limits. And the woofer is a dual-coil unit with a cap feeding the 2nd voicecoil with phase inverted--to electrically cancel the high freqs driving coil #1.

I've never heard of or seen anything like it. The speaker is a brutal load from lower-mid-range upward because all (4) drivers are coming online, with no cutoff.
