| Thiel Owners I don't know if I get the time/phase coherence thing or not. I don't think I could describe it but maybe it's why I find Thiels so relaxing. When I changed from B&W to Thiel there were some obvious differences that I could describe but also ... | |
| Thiel Owners I've got both the 3.7 and 2.2s and I've definitely noticed that the 2.2s have more prominent bass. I'm not surprised to hear that they have a little more than is completely flat. It's good quality and very enjoyable. They were my first Thiels a... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm feeling extra lucky to have what I believe are an early pair of 3.7s. I bought them used in 2012 and the SNs on the boxes were 41 and 42. Whatever was on the speakers themselves is completely gone. I just shone a flashlight directly on them... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? Has anybody tried several smaller subs added to a single bigger, more full-range one? That seems like it'd likely be best bang for the buck. You could locate the big one where it does best from 20-35hz and have 3 other subs for a smooth response... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? I'd try something like the Fiio A3 portable headphone amp to see if you like that presentation. It's only $60 so it's low risk and a reasonable match for what you're trying to do. You could use it in the house or the car. Amazon description:Sui... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers Regarding ATC and phase response, I looked into this a little bit a few months ago and came away with the impression that they probably had perfect phase alignment between the drivers at the crossover point but that they probably weren’t in phase ... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers You can still get your Thiels serviced by Coherent Source Services in KY. It's run by a long time Thiel employee. I've got Thiels and ATCs and you can't go wrong with either. I find I prefer the Thiels at lower volumes and for smaller scale, ac... | |
| merits of allocating $ to 2.o channel vs 5.1 I found a long list of LA area dealers. Not sure how current it is but there's no shortage of choices. If I were you I'd make sure to at least listen to the Vandersteen 2CE Sig II. http://www.laaudiofile.com/dealers.html | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally How do they sound at low volume? I'm curious if the new tweeter and/or different voicing have made the active domestic speakers sound better without needing to be turned up. I have a pair of 2012ish 110s that have the old tweeter. They're spect... | |
| Thiel Owners pair of 3.5s with the EQ in Chicago suburb $550.https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/ele/d/skokie-thiel-cs35-coherent-source/6786015093.html | |
| Thiel Owners Certainly running demanding speakers can cause amps to run hotter and that may shorten the life of the amp. Just another reason to run two amps bridged mono or vertical biamp. You double the available power and you also double the heat sinking. If... | |
| Thiel Owners I've run bridged mono and vertical biamp and I've gotten the vague impression that I prefer bridged mono. I think the high gain contributes to dynamics. It seems livelier. I'm looking forward to reading how people here feel after trying both. | |
| Thiel Owners 3.7s in Des Plaines. Just minutes away. If only I had an excuse. | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone know of an active, dsp, phase correct/coherent speaker? I haven't heard of one. From what I've seen the dsp speakers use extremely steep slopes to get near perfect frequency response and low distortion. People still don't like them.... | |
| Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?. I'd get a bunch of couch cushions and lay the speakers down on them. Then slide the speaker out onto a blanket or tip the box back up with the speaker still inside and then slide the box off the top. I'm guessing you should have put the box side... |
