Thiel Powerpoints for front speakers?

I am using Thiel Powerpoints as the side speakers in my surrouund setup. I spoke to my Thiel dealer (Nicholson's Hi Fi in Nashville) because I originally planned to do just what you are doing. They advised strongly against it as the sound would likely come out very thin.

In my experience with the Powerpoints, I'd have to say they were right. The Powerpoints do a good job as surround speakers, but they weren't really designed to do front lr duty.

I would agree with kinsekd. I have the powerpoints as center and surrounds (4 of them) and totem mani 2's as the lr front. I also use a thiel sub. this works very well for ht and stereo, but the powerpoints alone would be thin for music. I do think for a pure ht setup they would be fine, especially with the thiel sub. good luck.

Thanks for the info.

Kinsekd, what are you using for left/right?

Emster, I never really thought about using the powerpoint as a center with more traditional speakers for left/right. Could you tell me how satisfied you are with that setup?

Thanks.
