| Thiel Owners As for the CS6, it's hard to tell from JA review where the "reticence" comes from. When I listen to my speakers for example, I can tell whether the "reticence" of a particular frequency comes from the lack of transparency or a dip in frequency. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi beetlemania,I guess I was just speculating and mostly was out of curiosity. I have not personally heard the CS6 so it would be hard for me to form any conclusion. Hopefully someone here who had listened to the CS and would offer his or her op... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy2, curious to know what you see on that board. How did you surmise an all-pass filter? An all-pass filter suppresses no frequencies, right? Seems like such a "filter" would invariably allow the driver to excite its resonant modes. It's part... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,Here is the link to the xover picture. Based on the website, it is supposed to be a CS6 xover picture. I was afraid of revealing possible intellectual property, but I guess since the website is public, it should not be an issue, at least ... | |
| Thiel Owners I wonder if Tom or someone else could comment on this. I found an image of a supposedly CS6 xover for the midrange. Based on the image, it seems the xover employs an all-pass filter for the midrange. In my experience, the all-pass dues to the a... | |
| Thiel Owners Actually the Magnepan although physically composed of just one panel, it is not technically a single driver in term of phase response. Different parts of the panel will not move in complete synchronization therefore certain part of the panel will... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy2, Really? Is that where this is going? I suggest that you either offer more constructive posts or work on your cleverness. This thread has been taken hostage by unsound lately :-) | |
| The Audio Gods are tough but fair-Have you had the "Curse of the 300B" ? "The Audio Gods are" subjective - to each his own. 300B talents are limited to a small set of speakers as it cannot drive 99% of the speakers out there. | |
| Thiel Owners I wish unsound post was a little bit more sound. | |
| Thiel Owners Will I find the exact replacement I need that will bring harmony to the existing crossover? Not likely, but chances are good that I'll find something 'good enough'. The thing is it's not like replacing a Mazda 6 with a Toyota Camry. If you h... | |
| Thiel Owners Chaning any of the origial drivers almost ensure the need of a new xover and since the Thiel is time-phase coherent, it's not something that can be done by just anybody. One almost have to use the original driver as replacement. | |
| Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se I don't follow this. Why would you not be able to choose either single *or* dual binding posts? Why would outboard eliminate a solution with a single BP? If you have an outboard xo, then you would need two separate wire runs from the outboard ... | |
| Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se Beetle regardding outboard xo's didn't Tom say something about the length of the wire to the drivers form the xo being significant to the design? Maybe not. If there is no adjustments for design criteria going to an outboard xo I would rather ge... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? It would be the Sonus Faber SE17 for me. | |
| Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se IME, put the crossover outboard improve clarity. I think there may be an aesthetic issue. One of the thing I like the most about the CS2.4 is its well-proportioned. They look just right. With an outboard xover box, that could be an issue ...... |
