| How To Measure "Current" In An Amplifier? Erik, yes I agree that some speaker designers might add components to the cross-over to purposely lower impedance, but not for the reasons suggested, but rather for (as succinctly found in paragraph one here):http://www.stereophile.com/content/thi... | |
| How To Measure "Current" In An Amplifier? Erik, re: the last paragraph of your last post, one could argue that other considerations mandated speaker designs with such an impedance, and that one might rather just avoid amplifiers that weren't robust enough to handle the task at hand. | |
| Viva, no longer a fan I would never knowingly buy a product from a company with such a policy. Grey market concerns are the companies issue, not the consumers. It hurts the resale value for those who might want to move up those very companies lines, and thus compromise... | |
| Advice for Speakers to mate with McCormack DNA .5 Let me start by saying that I am a firm believer that one should start by choosing speakers first and working back from there. Your room is too small for true full range sound. The McCormack amp is a natural with Vandersteen's, but your room place... | |
| Direct Digital Amplification Is this any different than what TacT and Lyngdorf have provided for years, except for the NAD not being able to double down? | |
| Thiel Owners saffron_boots:note the last sentence in paragraph 11:http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/690thiel/index.html#OCgcjcgiVx3FrhzX.97though not active, on point to some degree never the less:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-cs5-mod... | |
| Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s? ^ There were different smart sub offerings that could adjusted various Thiel models. Thiel stopped making true full range speakers after the CS 5i's and the subs were necessary for those wanting all that might exist in and on their music collecti... | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 ^FYI, with their 33Hz +/- 2 dB bass response they don't really need too big a room, unless used with a sub, which is probably a good idea. | |
| Thiel Owners The 3.5 midranges with their paper surrounds occasionally need to be rebuilt. I've had both of my pair rebuilt by Thiel once gratis 10 years after the warranty ran out, only had to pay for shipping there. I sure miss Shari Graham and the non parei... | |
| Thiel Owners Within their power range those Forte 7's were wonderful! | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 ^When possible it is best to avoid identical room dimensions. Typically when one is discussing room size it is done with total volume cubed, though for our purposes there can be draw backs that too. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Pass Labs. Both Pass & c-j make nice stuff, but Pass really works best with balanced inputs, and alas c-j only comes single ended. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Why so centered on integrateds rather seperates? | |
| Best amp choice for Thiel 2.4 I haven't found the Pass X series amps to be lean at all with Thiels, if anything ever so slightly on the other side of neutral, and a very lovely match indeed. As for the power levels, so much of that depends on the specific Thiels under consider... | |
| Thiel Owners ^ideally little to none, but if one has a difficult room with speakers close to the side walls it might be better to add more toe in. |
