Mine seem to sound better 8 feet apart as opposed to 5 feet apart. Toe in mainly if your are having problems with early reflections from sidewalls. Did you try the Sistrums? I'm curious about those devives after reading the thread. I just got my 3.6s on 12-4. Quite a step up from the CS 2s I had been using since 1985. I think I need better electronics now...sigh.
Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating
I have a lovely old house with hardwood floors. I just bought a pair of Thiel 3.6. I plan to use the stabilizing pins / spikes provided with the speakers (probably put the spikes on quarters or something). My question: would it be worth my while buying a pair of thick (2 inches or so) granite slabs to put under the speakers with the spikes? Has anyone tried this and if so, what were the results? Thanks.
