@duramax747    very interesting stuff.  Please do keep us informed  
Thiel Owners
@ronkent   I suppose you might be familiar with my speaker trajectory since I detailed it in this thread and then in my other long thread on the forum.    But just as a recap:  I had the 3.7s and absolutely love them as they were probably th...

@tomthiel   thanks for the added detail !  
Thiel Owners
@tomthiel    sonically speaking, what is the main shortcoming of the 2.7s ? And how would the sound change with the tweak you have  for that speaker ?   thanks   
Thiel Owners
@brunner007      I owned  Thiel 3.7 and 2.7s at the same time for quite a while, going back back-and-forth between them to decide which one I was going to keep.    I’ve given descriptions of the Sonic comparisons a number of times in this t... 
Footers under new speakers
”Get a couple of "Subdude" platforms and then spike or use whatever between the speaker and the Subdude. Cheap and effective.” I tried the subdude platforms as well, under my Thiel Speakers.  They barely did nothing at all for the sound in my ca...

@hilde45  I’m sure you recognized a typo in there, but… that sentence should read: “a sense of density, punch and SOLIDITY to the sound.  
Footers under new speakers
    As I’ve indicated before… I tried and abandoned the Townsend Isolation Bars for my speakers.    The way I see it , we audiophiles are constantly looking for the next upgrade and more “ insight” into the recording.   And the other thing i... 
How close are you to being to your endgame? My system outline and I'm almost there.
    Yes, I’m at my end-game system. And I’m lucky because it essentially coincided with current downgrade in finances meaning I’m not really in this game anymore.  Like many audiophiles I owned lots of gear over the decades.  And since I like ... 
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
@gdaddy1      Glad you got something out of it. in terms of the Home theatre experience, It’s been about 15 years And I swear, I pinch myself practically every time I use it. I cannot believe how amazing the experience is. As for the posi...

@gdaddy1 sorry didn’t mean to kill your thread …:/)   
Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap
OK, so what about the subject of this thread two channel stereo? I have my stereo speakers pulled well out from the screen wall behind them, into the optimal position for best sound immersion and three dimensional imaging. I’m not a fan of seein...
