Thiel Owners

Great info!

Thank you for that very kind offer!  I don't think I'll take you up on it as I think I'll get along ok with the Gaias.

FWIW, if anyone has experience and opinions about the Gaia vs standard Thiel spikes, I'm interested in hearing about it.

I use the original spikes with the outriggers, i will report back once i receive my Gaia 2s.

@tomthiel great info!

I just managed to swap the listening position to allow for a longer distance from the speaker to the listening position as recommended from the user manual. Initially was about 4.5 feet and now to about 6 feet. But distance from the back wall is now about 1 feet from about 4 feet. The speakers sounded different now, the brightness that I experience earlier was totally gone. The bass is much reinforced. However the soundstage height and depth seems to have suffered as the speakers are closer to the rear wall. I am not sure why the soundstage height is shorter now. I suspect that the distance between the listening position and the speakers affected it.

It really is a very interesting speaker.
