Thiel Owners

jon_5912:I supposed you can use digital but it has its draw back but ultimately you need to have the drivers that can handle 6db roll off which is usually the problem in first order design.
But digital has other drawbacks which I am not sure this thread is the best place to discuss.

Yes, unsound, I agree that when Dunlavy were around their speakers tended to share the general characteristics I hear in Thiels. 

OK Thanks Tom. I have a pair of Naim NBLs in another system and they have a specified tightening torque of 3.6Nm for the mid range drivers (but just a warning not to mess with the bass) possibly a bit tight for the Theals, which do have metal to metal threads, it feelt tight to me anyway. I didn't tighten the Theil's bolts as tight as that.

Happy Friday - All.

I am looking forward in reading about your impressions, thoughts on the Pass Labs amp.  I have only auditioned the XP-10 which is a very fine preamp indeed.   Happy Listening!
