Thiel Owners

Warren

I have used the Cardas golden rule using the near field formula,
When I got to 8 foot wide
(  as suggested in the Thiel owners manual )
I had the simular problem with the center stage , 
toe-in solved my problem , it took listening to classical music to fine tune it, the speakers are pointing about 16 inches out from each ear.  
Speaker placement and toe-in are personal and a great discussion .
the Prof has his speakers 8 feet apart and sits less than 7 feet away 
and no toe-in,
you have yours 80 inches and sit 100 inches away , toe-in ?

I've tried to get into Rush , a few songs maybe but I just can't.
You have created an interest in Pierre Bensusan after listening to  allmusic's snippets of him, never heard of him before so thanks.

Back to Classical Sunday ,
just finished Beethoven's 1st and 9th by Fritz Reiner & CSO.

Good to see you-Rob
Happy Listening!

Happy Friday- All

Man!  I have never seen the cupboards so bare on Thiels for sale on A'gon. 

pops,

I know!  It's one reason I've been so shy on putting one of my Thiels up for sale.  Given the fact they seem to have dried up on the used market in terms of availability, it feels like it would be quite a final decision to get rid of my 3.7s.  Unlike, say, Quads or something that you'll always be able to find easily again.

BTW, I contacted Rob Gillum and he has all the drivers for the Thiels, including the 2.7s.  That's good for me as I'm pretty much convinced I won't be giving up these 2.7s.   They sound glorious and look perfect in my room - I'd never find another pair on the ebony finish.  So I may grab a spare coax/woofer/passive radiator for the 2.7s, and if I keep the 3.7s I might do the same for them.
