| Room treatment can be addictive What are the affects of first reflection from the side? How does it affect the soundstage and vocal reproduction? In my listening space, there is a large glass window to my left, and a 50in. LED TV to my right. They would constitute first refle... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for Tom as usual for your insights. I think the CS5 is an example where time coherent was achieved at the expense of a speaker that sounds a bit reticent. I've read the Stereophile review that the xover consists of a total of 114 compo... | |
| Thiel Owners I say that neither Jim nor Thiel Audio would espouse valuing ’"time coherence above other aspects of sound reproduction" I think all speakers design is a compromise. If one aimed to achieve time coherence design, one compromise other aspects o... | |
| Thiel Owners more complete sound, from the harmonic structures, dynamics, and a natural sound balance between all the sounds, so most things don't stick out as not fitting into the picture. I think you could find these qualities in other speakers too. Not ... | |
| Thiel Owners To Thiels owners, do you value time coherent above other aspects of sound reproduction? | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Interesting. I would have thought soundstage was more related to the mid and higher frequencies I know a lot of people have reported back that by adding the a good sub, the soundstage also was improved so I think low frequencies are related to ... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Rockport Avior ii I wish I have your speakers. | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area With smaller driver it has to move a lot to produce the same sound pressure vs. bigger drivers. When the small drivers move violently, it creates distortion. | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Most newer speakers have multiple smaller drivers so you could have speed and low bass. But which one would you rather have: two 8in drivers moving violently or one 12in driver moving gently? | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Just curious, what were the speakers with the two 12in. drivers? It's a DIY speakers that I made. It has two 12in. driver on the back of the cabinet and the tweeter is horn loaded with a 8in mid range drivers. It does not have the speed of th... | |
| Thiel Owners I tried to pull the speakers out a bit from the wall. I got a little bit better vocal definition but the mid bass leans out a bit which I did not like. | |
| Thiel Owners AZ on the warm side of neutral? : Corrected. I can try another cable but I don't think it's the cable though. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. IMHO his measurement selection still misses a number of relevant subtleties. Most notably the time domain performance of DACs and amplifiers, which are essentially not measured at all by instrumentation like the AP analyzers (they rely upon stea... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi jafant, My upstream components are Ayre QB9 DAC, Pass XP10, Simaudio W7 amp. Cables are Acoustic Zen Hologram II. It could be my hearing. I am in my mid 50’s and my high frequency hearing is pretty bad. The W7 could be a bit laid back so t... | |
| Thiel Owners For the CS2.4 owners, are your vocal reproduction holographic? Mine is a bit recess. I am not sure what is the root cause? Could be from my upstream components. |
