Thiel Owners

i asked my distributor if he could order the lastest crossovers in 2015 he told me Thiel didn't have them available anymore.

Well, the only person to ask now is Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service. He has an easy inquiry form on his website and he has replied to my multiple queries within a few hours if it’s a business day.

ronkent,

Yes for the most part I've used the Thiels sitting on my floor (shag rug over wood floor) - no spikes, nuthin'.

I like playing with speaker positions so I recently put some Herbie's gliders under them (which screw in to where the spikes go).  It raised the Thiels a bit and to my ear thinned the sound a tiny bit.  I tried to make up for the height change by angling the Thiels a tiny bit down toward me.
Seemed to get a bit better.

But whenever I've tried footer thingy's, the tone of the speaker gets dark and base gets less tight.  Everything snaps together when they are just sitting on the carpet.

@beetlemania,

Thanks for the updgrade info.  That's more comforting that parts values will remain so similar.

@prof I should add that the layouts will be different, especially for the outboard solution. This, more than the change in parts quality, is why Tom wants to ensure that the new orientation is not deleterious.

Oh, right, I forgot that the new crossovers would be outboard.  That would almost certainly rule them out for me.
