Contact Sound Anchors for the height spec. I built temporary platforms to this height with computer books and decided it was too high. You can experiment with different heights with the books easily (but be careful since it's not totally stable). I had Sound Anchors make a cradle like the 2.3 cradle. The spikes on this cradle get down through the carpet better and are adjustable - the slightest tilt on the 1.5s can make a significant difference, especially if the 2 speakers tilt differently. In all, I thought these stands were worth it for the above reasons and they also seemed to firm up the image a bit. One thing is that I'd have Bob make the cradle about a sixteenth inch wider so that you could line the sides with velcro or sorbothane where it contacts the speaker base.
Thiel 1.5's with sound anchor stands?
Anyone have any experience with Thiel 1.5 on Sound Anchor Stands? Using them with Classe CA100 and room not the best but cannot rebuild the room. I don't know exactly how high they would raise them but it looks to be about 12 to 14" off the floor with spikes. Was wondering what that might do to the high frequency sound, being higher than ear level. help or hurt? These can be some very aggravating speakers sometimes, with some recordings, but some are stunning. I am new to this, so forgive me if I have not posted this right.
Thanks for any help. Brett
