Thiel CS6

You're right.. Also I see how Mr Thiel developed these Speakers. Which is how it should be. He knew his music and it shows that if it's a great recording, it will sound great. And a bad recording will sound really bad. And you see when I'm in the studio and I come home. I wanna make sure it's right on target.When submitting new songs you only have one shot.And if the recording dosen't have the emotion that makes you wanna hear it again. You're dead in the water... Thanks for your input..I must tell you that setting up these speakers wasn't easy. In matter a fact I almost threw in towel. So I lQQked at the manual and put the toe in just like Mr. Thiel had it. AND Thank God, IT WAS MAGIC.So before I put the spikes on now, thanks for your valuable information. I'm going to stabilize the hardwood floors in that area. (We never stop learning)Until then.. I'm very happy. Don't get me wrong to all Eggleston owners. They're great speakers. I just didn't want to buy two subwoofers.

In response to the Theil, Vandersteen comparison.... Vandersteens can more accurately be incorporated in the room. This may very well make the Theil good or not so good in comparison.

Stringreen, I would suggest that is true of the higher end Vandersteens, but at the lower end the opposite is true, with their respective subs all bets are off.

Unsound...the comparison is with Vandersteen's 5A speakers which are at their high end and uses the very same room correction as their top of the line 7

Alan, don't be afraid of pointing the CS6s straight ahead; they fill in the middle beautifully and my experience is that they sound their best aimed thusly; all of course in my room. And, it is extremely important to position them equally to the nearest cm from the front wall (the wall behind them). From the listening position this will "lock in" the image focus, even though off axis will sound great too.
