| Thiel Owners Just checked hifishark for the thiel integrator...boy they don't come on the market very often! | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? My guess is that there’s rarely any capital at risk with regard to getting what a dealer has IN a stock item OUT of it, so I’m not sure what the purpose of a consignment would actually be except to entice undercapitalized dealers to carry lines th... | |
| Thiel Owners Has anyone successfully integrated a subwoofer (or pair of subs) with the 2.4's (or other Thiels)? How? Electronic crossover? Which one? Which subs? | |
| Paradigm Persona series The Persona 9H demo pair is being offered at a significant discount now. I'll be going back and auditioning it again after they tweek that setup and run ARC on the low-end. I wish I could bring my electronics to the store but frankly the Pass po... | |
| Paradigm Persona series By way of an update, I had an opportunity to audition the Paradigm Persona 9H at some length at an Atlanta dealer recently. They did not sound bright to me in that audition driven by an Anthem SR series power amp and pre amp. I have to say I was i... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? +1 on the no bottom end (no matter what amplification you use). I dunno, there are numerous low frequency drivers on the top model which in the hands of a different designer would be expected to produce some relatively serious bass. Or the same de... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience Some dealers know their stuff. But here in Atlanta there are really only two that I feel know enough to rig the speakers they’re trying to sell properly, i.e. with electronics that will show them off properly and setup in a room properly. Those tw... | |
| Magico A3 Can anyone comment further on the bass performance of this speaker? Also, my dealer in Atlanta can't seem to get his hands on them. I guess they're seriously backordered with no shipping date given by Magico(?) | |
| PS Audio DS Jr vs. SR aolmrd1241 Thanks for that update. I checked the PS Audio site and their "sale" may have been more effective than they anticipated. The sale is off, and PS Directstreams are backordered with first available date is May 2019. That's a little sho... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I used to think that power was power with only minor differences in the sound. However in trying to decide on the best amplifier for my Thiel 2.4s I've auditioned the Bel Canto m600s (their current production monblock), the Bryston 4 cubed stereo... | |
| PS Audio DS Jr vs. SR This is less relevant now considering the "sale" and large price cuts PS Audio has on their dacs however....I originally purchased a Jr. and noticed before the last OS upgrade a weird pulsing artifact with the Jr once the volume was at a certain l... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I have heard enough about the overall tilted up balance on the Personas to discern that particular problem might be something that has to be dealt with by Paradigm. Those references are literally everywhere. I... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? In addition to great speakers, Green Mountain makes good coffee. | |
| Thiel Owners Anyone have any ideas on where I can get a set of outriggers for my Thiel 2.4s? Or other suggestions for decoupling the speakers from carpet? Presently using the little brass buttons with the short spikes which came with the speakers. Ideas? | |
| Thiel Owners I finally got around to measuring my room/speaker interactions on my Thiel 2.4s using REW and uploading a convolution filter to roon. ITS AMAZING! TIGHTENING UP EVERYTHING. Imaging if far superior now to what it was before. Frighteningly good.... |
