| Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car? @andy2 , I'm curious how you'd describe the small midrange sound. I'd have thought that it would have less directional sound and therefore be less room dependent. I decided a while back that I like small midranges. I'm not 100% sure why. Maybe ... | |
| Will the Thiel CS2.4 fit in my car? I took some Thiel 2 2s home in a Honda Accord. I believe I put one in the front passenger seat and laid one down in the back seat. Take some blankets, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. | |
| Thiel Owners If I remember correctly voltage (v) = current(I) times resistance (r). Watts equal volts(v) times amps(I). That means that if an amp ever actually dumped 90 amps into a 4 ohm load it would be delivering 32,400 watts. That's 43 horsepower. It m... | |
| Thiel Owners According to audioadvisor specs the JC5 has a max of 90 amps/channel. I tend to look at the size of the transformer and it has 1.7kva which is pretty darn huge. https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PAHAJC5 | |
| Thiel Owners I know John Ellison over on audio asylum uses the parasound A21 with his 3.7s. It's a really powerful amp for $2,500.https://db.audioasylum.com/mhtml/m.html?forum=speakers&n=361836&highlight=thiel+3+7&r=&a... | |
| Velodyne Minivee Repair or replace I have a Velodyne DD18 that I got as a demo from a closing Tweeter in 2006. I've never had a problem with it. When I hear of people having trouble with Velodynes it seems like it's almost always one of the smaller ones. It takes a massive amoun... | |
| Velodyne Minivee Repair or replace Over the years I've gotten the distinct impression that one of the main downsides of very small subs is reliability. There's a lot of pressure in a tiny box and it requires a lot of power to push that small woofer hard enough to reproduce low fre... | |
| Thiel Owners All this talk of amplifier power got me curious so I checked the measurements of some of the stereophile reviews. The 3.7s have a minimum of 2.4 ohms which is pretty low but they are also pretty sensitive so overall the are a difficult load but n... | |
| Thoughts about the entry level room in RMAF - 2018 Dealers don't want to say it's the best $5,000 system with a fat profit margin but that's obviously a factor. I can't personally imagine spending as much on cables and vibration control as I do on the integrated. Not to mention another $200 for ... | |
| Small dedicated listening rooms I definitely agree about nearfield. If it were me I'd consider ATC SCM25, Focal SM9 and other pro monitors intended for mid/nearfield configurations. | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both I've thought about this and I mostly agree. Most musical instruments are fairly loud and most recordings are made with microphones fairly close. It makes sense that a speaker that is neutral would have the full detail of the instrument when play... | |
| Thiel Owners I've found my 3.7s to be power hungry but not so power hungry that I thought I needed a huge, super-expensive amplifier. I have a pair of Cambridge 840s that I think drive the 3.7 great. You can get a pair of the current model 851w for 3-4k. Th... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm using a pair of Cambridge 840s. They're a lot smaller than the CA-300. Their combined power is probably comparable to a single CA-300. I have my doubts about whether a pair of CA-300s would be significantly better than one. That's 1,700 wa... | |
| Thiel Owners I had a similar experience with the bass in my 3.7s sounding a bit weak. I got out my measurement mic and real time analyzer to measure it and it measured fine on sine waves. Still, it bothered me enough that when the store I bought the amp at w... | |
| The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers I've been thinking about trying to build some speakers for a long time but haven't done it. I'm going to start simple, probably a little 2 way from Madisound. One thing I'd like to do is build a box that is stiffer than the 3/4" MDF. I was thin... |
