Thiel Owners

One point about my situation is that I move my speakers probably more than most people.  For one thing, I swap in various speakers (sometimes my Thiels, sometime my Joseph Audio speakers, occasionally different speakers).   Plus I do play around with speaker positioning rather than just finding one spot and never moving them.   So having an unfussy speaker in terms of movement is a plus for me.

Thiel only made outriggers for certain models and they where the latter models. 

I've tried many platforms under a speaker and you would be and pressed to find something that out performs a Panzerholz/tankwood base.

Happy Friday!  ALL

duramax - can you describe the Panzerholz base in some detail?

@jafant No, I’ve not played with fuse upgrades. I read an account of improved sonics by doing this with an Ayre product. Most everything makes at least some difference in sonics. I asked Ayre about this and decided the potential upside was not worth the money and effort. But let me know the results if you try this.

When I upgraded the 2.4s, there were a few changes that made relatively small improvements. These included the Multicap bypasses on the coax feeds and higher voltage caps as woofer shunts. But I heard the improvements and was already ready committed to the expense and effort. 

At some point, IMO, you have to stop being a neurotic audiophile and just enjoy the music. That is where I am. And it’s easy being in this place as I know it would take $$$ to notably improve the sound I’m getting now.
