i never imagine parasound will do this great with thiel . any of u using parasound ? i currently using bryston 7bst at this moment .
by the way i blown my mcs1 tweeter again . thinking not to do it at thiel because it just contiune to blown .sad.......
I use a Parasound A52 5-ch. amp to power 4 PSB Imagine Minis (surrounds) and a Thiel MCS1 (centre).
As for the blown tweeter (again), if you've fried the voice coil, that sounds like a clipping problem in the amp—if I understand the physics correctly.
I had the simular problem with the center stage ,
toe-in solved my problem , it took listening to classical music to fine tune it, the speakers are pointing about 16 inches out from each ear.
Speaker placement and toe-in are personal and a great discussion .
the Prof has his speakers 8 feet apart and sits less than 7 feet away
and no toe-in,
you have yours 80 inches and sit 100 inches away , toe-in ?
I've tried to get into Rush , a few songs maybe but I just can't.
You have created an interest in Pierre Bensusan after listening to allmusic's snippets of him, never heard of him before so thanks.
I had a very insightful workshop with Pierre, on right-hand guitar technique, decades ago. To me, Rush only sounded good (particularly the drums) when Terry Brown was producing. Basically, anything before Signals (1982).
The tweeters are pointing ~30 inches outside each ear, so maybe ~5-10 degrees toe-in? Cannot be bothered to do the trigonometry.
I started from the Cardas' room node formula and adjusted from there. I could incorporate the near field equilateral triangle as well, and move the seating closer, but then I'd be sitting too close to the projection screen (120" wide). Everything's a compromise.
Cheers,
Warren
