| Thiel Owners Turns out...I like my Thiels better :-)Hmmm, what will you say should you upgrade your crossovers? | |
| Vandersteen Model 2D? If RV ever does put a carbon tweeter in the 2s (I doubt it), it would be a no-brainer to just call it the "2Carbon". | |
| Thiel Owners Your recollections and future considerations of the CS 5's is most interesting. Perhaps my favorite Thiel model. If it weren't for the associated amplifier demands, I'd probably own a pair. IMO, the ultimate Thiel would have the 5's sealed bas... | |
| Thiel Owners So my dilema is do I upgrade the 2.4's to 2.4SE's as I can get the upgrade kit from Rob and be content with my current system or do I sell the 2.4's and the SS2( hopefully to someone who loves Thiel and appreciates the quality) and get a pair ... | |
| Thiel Owners 8 v 10” woofer. Prof and ronkent can probably describe the difference. | |
| Thiel Owners Not much musical content below 35 Hz: http://www.sineworld.com/html/basic_knowledge/freqchart.htmlI can never again live with a speaker that isn’t robust down to 40 but I’d rather have a killer speaker that stopped at 40 than a mediocre one with f... | |
| Thiel Owners I haven't yet looked at the 3.5, but will look into it. The equalizer could indeed be ignored in an upgrade. Sounds good, Tom. Seems to be some demand for that model! And maybe someone will step up to address the equalizer? | |
| Thiel Owners upgrade the equalizer, which would be required for system synergy I might not even be able to *spell* "equalizer" . . . Is there potential harm to the balance by simply upgrading the caps and resistors on the XOs, keeping the layout as is? Keep... | |
| Thiel Owners you should buy my 2.7's :) LOL! Actually, there was a pair of white CS2.7s on A'gon just after I bought my SEs and for <$500 more. That had me second guessing. The 2.7 coax is almost certainly better than that on my SEs. But I'm committed to ... | |
| Thiel Owners I really think these will be the speakers they bury me with Yes! I was already happy with my CS2.4SEs and the resistor upgrade has been *very* satisfying (I think the new resistors are still breaking in, they keep sounding better and better). O... | |
| How do Walsh Ohm Speakers compare to Thiels? Ouch :’( | |
| How do Walsh Ohm Speakers compare to Thiels? If the post is, say, 3-4” diameter and round it might have very little sonic effect. Just need to listen with your eyes closed! | |
| How do Walsh Ohm Speakers compare to Thiels? I have CS5i’s in my 14.5’ X 24’ X 9’ dedicated room and they completely disappear. Your room should be great with the 5i’s. Use the Cardas room node calculator for distance of the speakers from the front wall (front baffle ~80" out from the wall) ... | |
| How do Walsh Ohm Speakers compare to Thiels? One thing that I have not tried to address is side wall reflections. I would start with a couple of simple throw rugs mounted to each side wall. No need to get crazy - yet. | |
| Vandersteen Model 2D? I wonder if RV could implement a model 2 CT for under 4K? IIRC, the price increase from Treo to Treo CT was about $1000. The XO probably also would need to be tweaked or further optimized. Is there really a market for a $4K Model 2? Maybe.It mig... |
