Man, I'm feeling mighty pleased with myself here...
First a musician relates that my description of Thiel's bass reproduction was an accurate description of it, then another post says I nailed it when I stated I find Thiels to be Maggies with bass...THEN he goes onto relate that Jim Thiel also appreciated what panels do so well.
I think Jim Thiel nailed it, as well. The two brands of speakers that have literally stopped me in my tracks have been Thiels and Maggies.
Only. I started with CS2.2 with Thiel, and the MMG series from Magnepan - in either instance once I hit the play button I had to spin around. I could barely believe how good they sounded.
Obviously I opt for Thiel for many reasons. First, the bass, the clarity, the mids and highs that panels excel with and that Thiels leave nothing to be desired.
I only wish that the "new" Thiel company could find this thread and find something in it to make them see that abandoning Jim Thiel's vision
is a woeful mistake.
Great thread, great posts folks!
