| Thiel Owners Hi ronkent, thanks! I’m still tweaking the RELs settings myself but find that when I go too high on the crossover I start to “step-on” the 3.7s low frequencies, and that’s the last thing I want to do. That S5 is a beautiful looking sub, enjoy! BTW... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Ronkent, I have 3.7s and am also using a Rel subwoofer. Mine is an older REL Storm III. I like the fact that it takes a high level signal from my power amp and seems to mate very well with the Thiels. I have the Gain at about 1/4 power and the ... | |
| ALPS Motorized Volume Pot- Repair (VTL 5.5 Preamp) Hi Cedargrover-the preamp is solid state regulated. Haven’t started measuring voltages yet but I’ll definitely have a look at the volume motor ( before and after it cuts out). Kijanki-I’ll have to time it to see if it always takes the same amount ... | |
| ALPS Motorized Volume Pot- Repair (VTL 5.5 Preamp) Thank you Kijanki!I will try the shake method but I’m doubtful that it will work because the volume control is the only thing that cuts off- the mute and phase-shift buttons on the remote always work normally. | |
| Thiel Owners Also, if you’re considering going the integrated route, a Cronus Magnum might be something to look at. There’s one on the bay right now with KT120s that could be a great deal. The Cronus is basically my amp with a preamp and phono stage in one.. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Arvin and fellow Thieliacks,Just wanted to offer another option for your 3.5s.. I have found Rogue amps to be a great match with my Thiels. I have a Rogue Atlas Magnum (KT120s, 100wpc) that I use with my 3.7s. I find that it offers excellent (s... | |
| Thiel Owners Would love to hear any other recommendations for tube power amps in the 100-200 wpc range that could be had for under 2k on the used market? Anything that might be a nice match for Thiels... | |
| Thiel Owners Vair68robert..I believe the 3.7 came with cones and the outriggers were an add-on. The original owner of my 3.7s lost the outriggers, so I went with replacements from Soundocity, which are great.. beautifully built, solid as a rock, and allow easy... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny...Yes, the Cronus Magnum was a great little integrated. With its beefy transformers and power supply it could definitely drive some pretty demanding speakers. The Stereo-100 has an even more massive power supply and with its cuad of kt120s,... | |
| Thiel Owners Happy Friday jafant!Hope everyone is enjoying great tunes on sweet sounding Thiels! I myself am liking these 3.7s so much that I’m getting ready to list my lovely 3.5s :) only one set of Thiels at a time for me in my NYC apartment!Also, came to th... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Oblgny-What part of NYC are you in? Your welcome to come by sometime and check out these 3.7s. I’d also be curious to hear your 3.6s with that nice BAT of yours.. I know what you mean by the NASA liftoff sequence getting a little tiring, would ... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello fellow Thielistas,Just wanted to report that my lovely 3.7s arrived unscathed and are currently hooked up and playing sweet music in my pad. I was pretty nervous about shipping these beasts from halfway across the country and especially abou... | |
| Thiel Owners ProfThank you for your wonderfully eloquent description of the sonic qualities you appreciate in Thiels. I too owned Meadowlark speakers in the past.. Kestral Hot-Rods and still have a pair of Swallows in my bedroom system. Apart from being truly ... | |
| Thiel Owners hi jafant,i believe the sherwoods feed more current to the Thiels then the F5. They definitely reach down lower in the bass. I'm curious to see how they perform with the 3.7s which arrive tomorrow! | |
| Thiel Owners Hey jafant,I've been building my system for the the past few years and the VTL 5.5 preamp was my first real "high-end" acquisition. It quickly became the heart of my rig! I think this is one of those rare tube preamps that offers the musicality an... |
