Thiel Owners

vair68robert - I susepect it's they guy who makes aftermarket 'fixes' for various speakers. when I spoke with him a few years ago he said his units 'fixed known abberations in the Thiel's upper midrange'. Rob Gillum bought one to measure and said he was reducing amplitude across the upper midrange and introducing phase-shift. Parts quality was significantly below Thiel's standards. These units are 'pre-crossovers', not replacements. They pre-shape the signal before it goes to the internal crossover.

Again I'm speculating what's up, could be something else.

Happy Friday! All

Hi Thiel speaker aficionado!

I have a question regarding a low frequency powered subwoofer speaker addition to my stereo setup. In my case its the CS2.4 towers and Pass Labs X150.8 stereo amplifier along with one REL S/812 powered sub.

Out of the gate I can tell it’s more than capable of producing more LF than will ever be needed so its in a good location. (front corner facing the listening position directly behind left channel speaker) Connected up via the high level speakon input connection directly from the Pass amplifier to integrate seamlessly with my CS2.4 mains.

Does anyone have tips tricks to get optimal crossover adjustments dialed in perfectly? I’m going mostly by ear and its currently set to 12 o’clock at the level/gain knob and 2 o’clock at the Crossover knob. Phase switch is set to 180

Best regards,

Measure from the listening position (every room will not be identical).  If you don't have an RTA, Studio Six Digital has an App (called Audio Tools) for IOS or Android and Parts Express sells the Dayton Audio IMM-6 mic (for just over $21) which has an individual calibration file (for the specific mic).  Also, REW (Room EQ Wizard) is free, and Parts Express (Dayton Audio UMM-6) and others sell USB mics for use with REW.

Nice combo- CS 2.4 and Pass Labs  X150.8- stay tuned until one of the Panel members chimes in to address your query.

Happy Listening!
