Thiel Owners

Generally speaking the room, size and speaker orientation you describe should sound very good in an average room .  How is it sounding?

Maybe I missed it but : Are you reporting this because  you’ve moved to a new listening room?  

Or have you just decided to play around with speaker positioning? 

What type of positioning have you used for listening over the past 10 years with your Thiels?

(Also, if you could just relieve yourself of the audiophile myth of cable burn in, you could just relax and enjoy the sound… cables do not need to burn in - the idea that they do just adds another layer of audio neurosis where one is concerned about issues that don’t exist).

My living room is my space. Yes, I am in the process of dialing-in these loudspeakers now that I have Reference cabling.

Happy Listening!

Yes, it really is a great listening space. Reflections, if any, are minimal at best. I have carpet over slab with an additional area rug that does not seem to interfere with presentation and sound. 2 layers of crown molding complete the ceiling line.

Happy Listening!

One last question:  do you spike the speakers through the carpet to the slab or do you do anything different?  I have had great results with the new GAIA NEO feet and they provide adapters that allow their feet to penetrate carpet for a better connection and more stability.  I, being a obsessive audio nut,  just cut the carpet out from under my speakers (it is very old carpet) and put down 24"X24" pieces of Panzerholz  for the GAIA to sit on directly.

ok… I admit I remain unclear and sort of confused

as to your situation.  You started this thread about 10 years ago
But, while you’ll talk about cabling, there’s been so little input from you in terms of

listening impressions etc with your Thiels.

I mean, you have been listening to them all these years haven’t you?
Not just waiting for “ Reference cabling?”
