i have the same size room, and am intersted in the same speaker. my showroom listening (i have not had any thiels at home yet) has sold me on the fact that i need to go down one model. either to the 2.3 or 2.4. the main reason is these speakers will just be too big for my room. the sound will not have enough time to align properly before it hits my ears without putting the speakers on the back wall and me sitting right against the front wall, which will be a disaster for listening. sitting too close also did not sound natural to me. it seems like you need to be able to set 12-14 or so feet away from the 3.6's for good time alignment. the 2.3's maybe only 8-10.
Considering thiel 3.6 but need feedback
Condering purchasing the Theil 3.6 but read that they sound best away from the wall. My room is 12'x21' and they would be placed agains the short wall with me sitting about 14' feet away. How much difference does this make ?
I will be using them for both HT and stereo. My associated equipment includes an Aragon Soundstage, bryston 4BST, Aragon 8008x3, anthem CD1 and audioquest cabling.
Any other recommendations in the $1,500 to $2,500 range would be helpfull.
Thanks.
