| Class A Solid State Sound Can we kiss and make up now? lols war is the norm. | |
| Class A Solid State Sound In term of drive, everything else being equal, BJT usually has more output current output so it should be able to drive better vs. FET. Therefore BJT sound tends to have more dynamic compared to FET. With respect to output impedance, I suspect m... | |
| Thiel Owners That is a valid argument, but I found it is consistent in different type of instruments regardless of bass response. But anyway, as I mentioned in my previous post, this topic can bring up different opinions that people will end up having their o... | |
| Thiel Owners With respect to unsound post regarding to baffle size, not to say which one is the most "correct", but there seems to be different design philosophies. Sonus Faber makes a few very wide baffle speakers. Thiel is somewhat in between with the curv... | |
| Thiel Owners Anyway, since this is Thiel thread, I guess I am allowed to be a bit sentimental :-). I found this little excerpt regard to specially to the CS2.7 in which the reviewer says: https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/speaker/floor-standing/thiel-cs2-7... | |
| Thiel Owners Any 3.7 owner want to bring your speakers to my room? Interestingly enough, that would be my next speakers but financially it's not possible for the moment. Hopefully some day. Sometimes things are just beyond one's wishes. | |
| Thiel Owners Also as we are on the subject, there is another design philosophy in which people believe that the baffle should be eliminated completely. This philosophy is adopted by Vandersteen. Part of the reason is that Vandersteen believes that the baffle... | |
| Thiel Owners So, Andy, even though the 2.4, like the earlier designs, does control diffraction very well, its lower tweeter creates a time discrepancy between side and top diffraction. That effect would be extremely subtle, such that I would be surprised if ... | |
| Thiel Owners Just for jest, one way to eliminate (or mostly) diffraction is to use horns such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz7biTHWv4c I wish I had one of those :-) | |
| Thiel Owners Can’t say I’ve noticed this trait, Andy2. Some songs with the mix in one channel seem to emanate well outside the bounds of the speakers. The CS2.4 does this at least as well as the CS1.6 and Vandy 2Ce Sig II. bettlemania,I suppose it could be re... | |
| Thiel Owners There is a sonic trait on the CS2.4 that I wonder if you agree. Maybe Tom can provide his inputs. In speaker design the baffle is pretty important to the sound which has to do with diffraction which I won't go into detail here since it will just... | |
| Thiel Owners Those CS2.4 are mine. I am selling my entire system. I still have a secondary system but not quite as upscale though. I have not had any luck yet :-). I am not looking to purchase any speakers to replace the CS2.4. I probably will build my own. | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? Neutral, Natural, what is it really Some have made the accusations that every component has its own sound personality therefore nothing is "neutral". Then why professional reviewers and people keep using the word "neutral"? Kind of a mystery. I t... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? arguing against viridian is like talking to a brick lols. | |
| Thiel Owners On the subject of amplifier, I swapped out my current amp for something a little less powerful. I have a spare SimAudio Moon W3 amp that is rated at 125W. Although it only has 125W, it is a fairly stout amplifier. But is it good enough to drive... |
