| Thiel Owners Hi beetlemania and Tom,I am wondering if you could comment on the sound improvement of the CS2.4 given various xover upgrades? I think you have said there was improvement but could you elaborate a bit more? I understand it's hard to describe sou... | |
| Thiel Owners While a heavier gauge in a single conductor may allow a higher capacity, I am curious how signal response across the contemplated frequency range through such increased conductor cross section would be impacted. Perhaps a multiple optimum condu... | |
| Thiel Owners But there is this other dimension. In my acoustic guitar design and archival recording I have identified an accumulation factor. Recording engineers and piano techs and other technical artists also experience this phenomenon. When on a particula... | |
| Thiel Owners internal wire is definitely a factor. It carries a slightly different set of requirements from external cable, which must cope with many unknowns of run length, electromagnetic environment, speaker impedance fluctuation, and more. The internal w... | |
| Thiel Owners I have been through tons of speaker cables and I can tell you that you do not need expensive cables to enhance characteristics of the 3.6. There are several sub 1K cables that have worked better for me than many low to mid 5 figure cables. All... | |
| Thiel Owners There is no time compensation in those crossovers. The coincident alignment is achieved geometrically via the position of the coaxial midrange and tweeter. Hi Tom,Actually you have answered my question. Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,I was wondering if you would be willing to share the xover design of the CS2.7 or CS3.7. I believe the mid+tweeter unit has separate xovers (vs. the 2.4 which is mechanical). For the tweeter xover design, do you know if it has an electric... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi beetlemania,I was wondering if you had to remove the xover boards from the cabinet then swapped out the components, or do you solder the components while the xover boards were inside the cabinets?Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners I'm planning to replace the 7bst with a higher quality amp of up to 30 watt, class A, tubes or SS. What would you recommend. Been looking at pass labs and luxman. I have a pair of Cary Six Pac Monoblocks rated at 50W in triode mode, but they j... | |
| Thiel Owners As others have mentioned, integrating the sub to the main speakers is not easy. For time-phase coherent speakers, it's even more difficult. I think that is why Vandersteen chose to integrate the sub into the main speakers so at least you have so... | |
| Thiel Owners Also besides the complex architecture of DSP, you can’t do the following:1. Use vinyl as your source2. Use your favorite tube amplifier3. Use your favorite DAC as your source4. If you have a set of favorite speakers cable such as Crystal Cable Abs... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone know of an active, dsp, phase correct/coherent speaker? I have seen one claim from the DIY community that was able to produce a perfect step response but I can't personally vouch for it. He claims that he uses DSP to delay the twee... | |
| Thiel Owners Just curious how do you position your CS2.4?Mine are 7ft apart center to center.I sit about 9ft measured from the front facial. The back of the speakers are about 19in from the front wall. | |
| Thiel Owners All the technical discussions not withstanding, it's all about the music albeit first order, higher order, ... as long as you enjoy the music, it's all that matters. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks to Tom for recapturing all the works went into the measurement phase. That seems like a lot of works. I supposed that was before the proliferation of personal computers?I think today speaker designers probably have a lot easier time with ... |
