| Thiel Owners Thank you Tom! I will give that a try.-Gary | |
| Thiel Owners So, I have the new to me CS5's set up (sort of) in my listening room. Still need to be positioned properly, but I've got to move some gear to make room:). Regardless, they already sound fantastic. I am already feeling better about the speakers ... |
