| Thiel Owners If the amp could double down into 2 Ohms they would probably be braggging about. Unless it can be absolutely confirmed, I’d assume it can’t. There just aren’t that many amps that can sustain double down to 2 Ohm performance. | |
| Thiel Owners Small rooms can only handle so much volume before becoming overloaded, but 88 dB doesn’t really come that close to presenting the dynamic range of so much music. With appropriate amplification the 3.5’s are capable of presenting a much better pres... | |
| Thiel Owners As Oblgny has already suggested the 3.5’s work best with the 12 dB boost compensating for the natural (and superior) sealed box roll off. Allowing the speakers bass extension that only much bigger and more expensive speakers are capable of. Though... | |
| Thiel Owners Deciding between more smaller subs and less larger subs might best be decided by ones room. | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. Audioquest seems to be the go to with Vandy’s. Another good option with your amp would be Goertz Alpha-Core MI 1’s, be sure to use the offered RC networks. | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. McCormack and Vandersteen are a great match, enjoy! | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve I previously posted this on another similar thread, but it might be more appropriate here:https://www.stereophile.com/content/mcintosh-mc501-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurements-0 | |
| Thiel Owners https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs24-loudspeaker-measurements...are not the measurements of a speaker model that is easy to drive . Especially from a modest integrated. | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? Perhaps adding a couple of Thiel SS2 subs would do the trick. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, did these waveguides mitigate lobing issues? | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, thanks for the grill history! I'm particularly curious about the implementation of the wave guides. What were the goals for their implementation, and to that end how successful where they? | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? ^As the link suggests, not the best match for the Thiel 2.3's. Many of Krell's separate power amps would be a much better match. If you want to add tubes, I suggest doing it upstream from the amp. | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? The Bryston’s might have worked well with the earlier Thiel model’s, but the later models with their sub 4 Ohm loads might be better served with alternate amplification. | |
| Thiel Owners Well, it is an older rather unique design.:-) | |
| Thiel Owners The Thiel CS 2's grills are an extension of the baffles. |
