Thiel Owners

Mr. Bill- looking down on the room in bird's eye view, my floor standing speakers are 4' out from the south wall. But my PPs are not along that south wall. The "testing corner" is the south east corner. The right speaker is 3' out from the SE corner, hanging on the south wall with its tail near the ceiling. The left speaker is 3' out from that SE corner, hanging on the east wall. The floor to ceiling corner baffle is in that SE corner with the left subwoofer  under the left speaker, flush mounted through the east wall, extending into a roofed area. The right sub cannot be flush-mounted because the south wall is not thick enough. I face the corner to listen, which makes a very flat, even recording and playback response, due in large part to the non-rectangular room layout. The room is an L, with one leg going along the south exterior wall and the other going along the east exterior wall, providing long symmetrical walls for each speaker propagation. There is no wall behind me to reflect sound, but rather the crook of the L, and those remaining walls are all porous, providing enough air containment for spatial signature, but not enough to support room modes.

Thank you Tom,
Now that I understand corner placement it all makes sense. How high off the ground are the coaxial drivers located?
Your distance between the speakers as the crow flies must be about 5-6’?

The tail of the PPs butts against the 8' ceiling for tweeters at 78" up. L-R distance is 4'. I would have preferred 4' out for 5'8" C-C or more, but stuff got in the way.

Good to see you again.  Hope you are well this Spring.

Happy Listening!

Good to see you again. Your ears do not deceive- Wilson Audio loudspeakers do exhibit a slight coloration. This is not a bad thing, IMO.
Thiel or Wilson, either way, one cannot go wrong. It is a matter of pesonal preference.


I will second those early Black Sabbath albums.

Hope you are well this Spring.

Happy Listening!
