Just curious Pvanosta, what is your amplification? I will say in my experience with my 2.2's, speaker cable of a heavier guage does work best for the bass, but only in terms of tonality, quantity, dynamics, and extension - lighter guage cable will just shortchange the speakers and give a thinner, less developed sound. The bass being somewhat 'loose' is probably a function of the amplifier chosen, and the 3.6's with their larger bass driver and radiator, and lower impedance dip, are tougher in this regard than mine. Since you don't mention it, I assume you don't consider this to be a potential culprit though, but then again there are many 3.6's out there in the world which are not partnered with truly adequate amps (or cables).
Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating
I have a lovely old house with hardwood floors. I just bought a pair of Thiel 3.6. I plan to use the stabilizing pins / spikes provided with the speakers (probably put the spikes on quarters or something). My question: would it be worth my while buying a pair of thick (2 inches or so) granite slabs to put under the speakers with the spikes? Has anyone tried this and if so, what were the results? Thanks.
