Thiel Owners

Easy solution, just never sell the 3.7s! ;)

Very interesting setup! I can sort of imagine the effect you're getting is almost like listening through a set of headphones, in that sitting close and having no toe-in, you basically cancel out most of each speaker's sound from reaching your opposite ear. I actually have my 3.5s pretty wide with just a bit of toe-in and frequently find myself rolling my chair forward till I'm just a few feet behind them.. totally enveloping soundstage- an immersive musical experience. I can only imaging, with their coaxial drivers the 3.7 will take this experience to a different level. 

Curious.. how big is your room and how far apart do you have the speakers?

Thank you for keeping this thread going! I always look forward to hearing about everyone's experiences with their Thiels. 

Happy Friday and Happy listening!

I updated my virtual systems page to show the BAT integrated in place. 

The speakers are approximately 8 feet apart and about 18" from the back wall. (I actually have a stick marked in increments of six inches.)  Like my 3.5's, the 3.6's seem to like 18 inches from the rear wall.  I sit around 12 feet away which, at low volumes, can be something that leaves things to be desired.  Since the 3.6's arrived I've been listening at slightly higher volume levels which appears to be what these speakers just...love.  Period.  I am constantly reminded how excellent Thiel speakers are - all of the models I've enjoyed. They just absolutely do it for me. 

Funny, there is a pair of WHITE 3.5's up on eBay now. I've never seen 3.5's in white before. 
Kinda cool but...sheesh!  Not my cuppa tea. 

Carry on, folks. This is hands down a great thread.
