| Room Comments/Treatments: | No tweaks. I tried lots of mega-buck cables, etc. System as is is awesome. Acrotec worked wonders as used. I like to set speakers up on the long wall. (all kinds of reasons)in addition,with Thiel speakers,You really have to follow thiels recommendations on speaker set-up to get the most out of them. 8 ft. apart, 5ft to each side wall, speakers straight out into the room. It's IMPORTANT. |
