| Thiel Owners Still, the little tiny Spendor S3/5 speakers I have can sound spooky accurate to real human voices. And at the recent Toronto audio show I attended, voices played via the Harbeth speakers (thin wall, wider baffle design) sounded more human than ... | |
| Thiel Owners A few previous posts ago, I said that the most apparent difference between first order vs. higher order is in the treble.I also notice that first order filter speakers such as the Thiels make early 1980's recordings sounding more "musical" than th... | |
| Thiel Owners I was wondering if the CS2.7 uses the same bass driver as the CS2.4? At least they visually look the same and about the same size. | |
| Thiel Owners my present work on these products strongly suggests that "neutrality vs musicality" is not necessarily a dichotomy. The assumption that we must sacrifice Articulation / Neutrality / Resolution in order to get "Musicality" is not necessarily so. ... | |
| Thiel Owners I’ve been thinking about the time/phase coherent and to be honest I’ve been back and forth - it matters, then it matters not like a girl choosing who to marry. One is for money and one is for love lols. A lot of it is more like personal experien... | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Most speakers are not time cohesive and nobody seems to care or notice. Just because nobody seems to care does not mean it does not matter. Just because if something has not been proven, it does not mean that it's not true. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? Hold on Andy. That is a mistake. Yes they are all transducers but their ability to function in air is quite different. ESLs and horns are a better impedance match to air and transmit sound waves more efficiently. Dynamic drivers have to work har... | |
| Thiel Owners 1) connections on XO boards where multiple coils, resistors, and caps come together (especially joining the Litz wire to the bundle), and 2) connection to driver posts, all the more so with the Litz (but even the OEM solid core was pretty much a... | |
| Thiel Owners Ours would act up at Kathleen Battle. I would too :-) | |
| Thiel Owners Horses can "hear" a train more than 5 miles down the track. They sense that 4Hz wave through their hooves. In that sense, I was wondering if dogs are just opposite? They can better sense high frequency sound. That's why my dog tends to act up... | |
| Thiel Owners but anybody try Acoustic BBQ speaker cables with their Thiels? I need to get some speaker cables with spade connectors (long story) and leaning towards trying these, unless someone can make a strong case for something different for less than $400... | |
| Thiel Owners We are barely scraping the surface here. The point is that the inner functioning of the ear mechanism itself is vastly complex, even before the neuronic energy is sent to the brain for processing.Hi Tom,I was under the impression that the only par... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,Thanks for your detail feedback. Something just struck me that could give me a clue. I keep thinking that music is limited to 20KHz, but that's not true, it's our hearing that is supposedly limited to 20KHz. BUT musical instrument has no... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,By tonality I suppose you meant frequency domain. But time and frequency domain are the same. You can convert from time domain to frequency domain and vice versa. For example, if you have a waveform in time domain, you can perform Fourie... | |
| Thiel Owners My study of audio and auditory neurology reveals that multiple parallel tracks decode the auditory stimulus, and the whole body is involved including the ears, mastoid process, sinus cavities, solar plexus and skin envelope - all working togethe... |
