Thiel Owners

A good measure from the back wall is 2-3 feet. IMO, models CS 2.4/2.4SE , CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 does not benefit from toe-in.


Happy Listening!

Thank You for the additional Stream information.
Perhaps Qobuz and Tidal offer a different codec?

Happy Listening!

@thielrules Thanks for the effort to test and respond. I should have posted this here instead of the ALL THINGS MUST PASS thread. 

I played the track that was causing the problem more than 10x to investgate. It sounded the worst on my Thiel and not so bad on the RAAL SR1a headphones or LS50 speakers. Though on the RAAL and LS50 is sounded a little off.

The next day (today) I listened to the album again on my Thiel CS3.7 and this time there was no distortion on HEAR ME LORD when the humming parts come up. It was likely a streaming hiccup when the problems came up. I listened a few times today and each time it was perfect. It would have been a real irritation if my 8 month old new COAX drivers needed a second replacement.

Good to read that this was a one-off episode. Enjoy the Music.

Happy Listening!

@thieliste my CS2.4 “Renaissance” are nearly 6 feet from the front wall. This yields the best sonics as I have the listening position near the back wall (with a large opening to the next room behind my head). I like the sound best with zero toe in.
