Back in the day I was told, on excellent authority

Back in the day I was told, on excellent authority, that Jim Thiel voiced all his loudspeakers in his home listening room.

My recollection of what I was told was that the listening room was 34 feet long and perhaps 19 feet wide, and that the loudspeaker and listening positions were basically the two focal points of an ellipse that could fit into that floor plan... which unavoidably meant that all the reflections at the listening positions were later than 11msec, and so there was no early-boundary treble reinforcement other than the floor.

And so, in order to get a 'natural' balance at the listening position, the treble had to be goosed up quite a bit.

Which is why Bob Ludwig's Egglestonworks Ivys had to be voiced for his room, which had about the same footprint, but a VERY tall ceiling as well.
