| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? We need to come up with agreed to standards, benchmarks, yardsticks. Not measurements only, but points of reference that we can agree on. Then we can explore together and come back with real improvements. Don't stop believin'Hold on to that f... | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? Before science, people when looked up the night sky at the milky way and thought that the milky way was sort of like a backbone, a backbone of the night sky, and if without it, the night sky would fall down on earth and could end all life. Now we ... | |
| Thiel Owners Note that the 1.5 drivers were entirely developed by Thiel in-houseOK, I see. I just thought they did look similar to some of the Vifa drivers. I have an eccentric theory about why phase-coherent x time coincident speakers are "harder" to driv... | |
| time-aligned speakers: stepped fronts vs. sloping fronts There are two ways to time align the drivers - sloping the baffle or stepped baffle : both achieve the same thing. The advantage of sloping is to minimize diffraction caused by the stepped baffle.Sloping baffle is also used in first order/time-ph... | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? I don't know muchBut I know I love youAnd that may beAll I need to know ..... Linda Ronstadt, Aaron NevilleIt seems like the problem facing audiophiles is that we feel like we know it but at the same we don't really know it. Everybody has th... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Hahaha ..... I miss the good old days. A gigantic flag ship pair of speakers only costs $25K. Something like this today would be $80K. Nice square step response! | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Why would you assume that? I was hoping you would enlighten me? Since your post above implies you know the answer? | |
| Thiel Owners With respect to "ease of drive", I looked at the CS1.5 which I believe do not use "Thiel designed" drivers but more or less "off the shelf". Based on Stereophile measurements, the impedance minimum is about ~3.7 Ohm at around 200Hz. Based on th... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Hi Richard,It seems interesting that you posted with regard to the "Infinite Slope" in a time-phase coherent thread. It's quite a different philosophical design vs. time-phase coherent with respect to phase shift. I would assume Infinite Slope f... | |
| Thiel Owners As for some of the comments with regard to tubes driving Thiel speakers, well I have a pair of Cary Six Pacs Monoblocks rated at 50W in triode mode. I tried them to drive the CS2.4, but they just do no have any dynamic and the music lacked any li... | |
| Thiel Owners Careful...spend too much time together and you'll soon be spending lots of money on cables ;-) and worth it. | |
| Thiel Owners Oh, and should you still be worried about the build quality of these products then the 10-year (!) warranty should instill confidence. I got burned by Chinese products in the past. Not sure I can trust them. Hopefully they will be still aroun... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions I think I'm outYeah, why don't you're out of this universe if you know what I mean. Some how I doubt it. I'll probably have to deal with your shenanigans sooner or later. | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Ivan Ivan come out where ever you are lols. Are you hiding in my closet lols. | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions man who can’t think his way back down to earth long enough to answer his own question...ya got me there I guess. aaahhh ... so I guess that’s your problem all along. Come clean and you’ll be forgiven brother. Why go around the neighbor dog? Just c... |
