Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating

Pvanosta, I've had 3.6's for about 3 years now and find Goertz MI2's to be a nice match, Thiel does also. These cables give a more fleshed out, full bodied presentation in my setup. Also these speakers respond to every inch you move them which can be maddning. I currently have mine 9 feet apart and about 4 feet from the front wall and 3 to 4 from the side wall - which allows me to point them straight out with no toe in. This gives me a very wide seemless soundstage - the speakers also sound more open, less boxey when placed further apart - but YMMV

My Amp is a Classe DR 15, 175W/ch in 8 ohms, and doubling all the way down to two ohms (700W/ch in 2 ohms).
The preamp is the Adcom GFP750 in passive mode.
The pre - to - power cable is Transparent Audio, balanced. The cable to the speaker is heavy-gauge multi-strand solid-core Audioquest.

Thanks for the placement feedback. I'll play around with the distance between the speakers...

Thank you. That makes two votes for the 'farther apart' side. I will definitely play around with that (as far as possible in my listening room).

OK, I can see why you didn't suspect the amp...
I did own an older Classe once (a Seventy, not the same generation or as high-power as yours) that never sounded properly balanced until I put a Synergistic AC cord on it, but that really transformed it, made it much more smooth and open. If you can, do you use an upgraded AC cord?

No, that's one I hadn't thought about. I'll look into that as well, thanks.
