Bought a linear Power supply to try to improve the sound of my dac. Ended up that it is incompatible with the Dac. However, managed to use it on my router. Ended up it sounded quite good. With lower background noise. Seems that there is more punch...

I was listening to this song yesterday with my 1.5 and the starting percussion jumped at me and the bass was shaking the room with little overhang. The transient speed of the speakers were so fast. I am in love with thiel speakers.

The soundstage height and depth is back. Soundstage focus is better now. Did 2 things, 1. Level the speakers with spirit leveler 2. Treat the side first reflection with foam. (Tomthiel is right about the side walls)foam is 2 feet higher than the...

I have copied the link for the setup of the 1.5s. I guess the most important is the minimum distance from the listener of 6ft. For the minimum distance from back wall I’m treating it with bass traps. And for one side of the side wall which ...

Thank you @tomthiel @unsound ​​​​​​. Yes I am still playing around with all the variables within the constraints of my room. One thing I really loved the 1.5s now in my system is the vocals sounded very real. So most of the time instead of trying...

@tomthiel great info!

Btw. Do you raise the Thiels 1.5 higher with stands? Currently I don't have too much issues as my sofa is low. Would it change the sound signature as some of you have mentioned?

@tomthiel ​​​​​​thanks for the inputs. I will see what I can do with the placement of the speakers. Room is definitely small. Now only treating first reflections with some absorbent foams. Using custom cables as below. The power is shielded cabl...

Hmm the bass is opening up after another 24 hours of run in. Think probably is the cables.😅  Let me see after a few more days.

Thanks Jafant. Thanks Thieliste. I know I should be playing in the living room. But they sounded great in my small room besides the bass which seems to be lightweight. So I wanted to try. 😅

Hi, just purchased a pair of Thiel Cs1.5. Great sounding pair of speakers in my tiny room of 2.3m by 2.3m with a small rectangle extra space like 1 m by 1.5 m, driven by Schiit Aegirs. Seems that the bass is a little light weight when compared to ...
