Thiel Owners

OK, sounds like you officially have a homework assignment. I was just listening last night, and decided not to move the speakers because I was very happy with the soundstage and imaging. But, I guess it can’t hurt to try. It may take me a few days, but I will report back what I find.
also, I do have some treatments on the wall and a very thick shag rug on top of the carpeted floor. Also, I believe the open rafters help break up the sound as well.
I do notice when I said closer to the speakers, the imaging is still good, but the realism is not as convincing.

Sdecker, 
I promise I won’t get depressed. I love learning about this stuff. If I do, I’ll just go listen to some music. If you don’t mind me asking, what are the sonic differences that cause you to like the 2.4 over the 2.3?Thanks, happy listening 

Jim Thiel calibrated his speakers at a distance of 3 meters facing straight ahead. Ideally you would have a minimum of 5’ from side walls and a minimum of 3’ from speaker backs to wall behind them.

Had the opportunity to put an ARC CD6 into the system with Krell FBI and Thiel 2.7.  The top through midbass was amazing...the best this system has ever sounded.  However once you got into the bass it had no bite.  Symphonic bass drum sounded like they were being struck with pillows.  Double bass didn't have the grunt on the front of the note where appropriate.  Overall I would describe it as "rounded".

Has anyone compared the CD6 to other ARC spinners with Thiels?  My 3.6 are currently damaged and awaiting repair so I couldn't test those.

I would like to read about the difference(s) between a CS 2.3 and CS 2.4 as well.  You can PM me or post here as you view fitting.

Happy Listening!
