help thiel 2.4 placement???

Ozfly: I take that what you are talking about is in replacement for the included spikes Thiel supplies with their floorstanding speakers?

Yes. I opted for brass cones/discs because: 1) They looked a lot nicer and that appealed to my wife, 2) I was able to purchase brass pucks with the cones so did not have to leave permanent marks on my wood floor, and 3) By the time I ordered the cones/pucks, I'd forgotten that Thiel shipped the spikes with their speakers (they were in the box). Well, what can I say???

However, I did try the Thiel spikes later with the pucks and didn't like them quite as much (though they are certainly better than no spikes at all). Good catch. Since the cones/pucks weren't very expensive, I continue to recommend them. But, no reason not to try the spikes first, especially on carpet (I'm still not crazy about leaving holes in the wood floor). Thanks Zaikes.

Are you guys still listening to the CS 2.4 loudspeakers in 2017?

Hi @rcoppel 

My room is about 14' x 23'.  In stereo mode, the speakers are about 8' apart tweeter-to-tweeter, and 4.5' off the front wall.  I am sitting almost 10' tweeter-to-ear.  I can confirm tonight.  I'm not worried about the sides as I'm absorbing the first reflection.  

I've pissed around with different placement (including moving the chairs), but this seems to be the one that offers the best balance and imaging, in my room.  

You can see it in Virtual Systems. 

Good luck.

Warren,

once I complete my system- the speakers will be 8-9' apart tweeter to tweeter. 2-3' from back wall, my sitting 9-10' away.  This is how I will start my journey towards the Absolute Sound.
