| Thiel Owners I always look here for items for sale (right now the closest Thiels to Lexington KY are 1.2s in Cary NC about 7.5 hours of drive time) - https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=thiel | |
| Thiel Owners "The test mic will give the software roll off points I assume?" One uses the mic with pink noise (there are free downloads as well as test discs). I usually measure with the subs turned off. In a room bass frequencies sum. So one does not want... | |
| Thiel Owners " Hi Thiel speaker aficionado! I have a question regarding a low frequency powered subwoofer speaker addition to my stereo setup. In my case its the CS2.4 towers and Pass Labs X150.8 stereo amplifier along with one REL S/812 powered sub. Out of... | |
| Thiel Owners Have you tried here? https://www.remusic.it/EN/Introducing-Coherent-Source-Service-for-legacy-THIEL-loudspeakers-ba19e400 | |
| Thiel Owners There's some info about specific (to the review pair) serial numbers in this 1999 Stereophile review around the same time frame - https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/220/index.html Later on, Thiel changed the tweeters to vented ones ... | |
| Thiel Owners I'd be reluctant to drive Thiels as the main channels with any AVR. Driving Thiels as surrounds with a receiver rated at 4 ohms shouldn't be that difficult as typically the DSP in the receiver re-directs the bass to the sub or subs. I have an in... | |
| Thiel Owners btw - Trappe, MD is towards the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Might be good to check if anyone is going to the Florida Audio Expo in February (start a thread) and if they intend to drive. Perhaps they could meet you somewhere on the way d... | |
| Thiel Owners Seems like a wonderful deal - | |
| Thiel Owners I use a couple of Rel S812s with my 3.7s as well | |
| Thiel Owners Have you considered analyzing your room with an RTA and treating it? Audio Tools (by Studio Six Digital) is an inexpensive App and Parts Expresss sells the Dayton Audio IMM-6 mic (with a calibration file for the individual mic which one downloads... | |
| Thiel Owners Those are 2.7s (3.7s have the aluminum dome on top). Seller is just about 3 hours south of me. | |
| Thiel Owners Many moons ago, I owned the 2.3s. My friend also worked at the high end shop and for about a 6 year period, I did virtually all of his deliveries and set-ups with him, including many pairs of Thiels. I had decided to upgrade the 2.3s. The sto... | |
| Thiel Owners The problem with a transport with digital outs is hi-rez formats. PS Audio has their Perfect Wave Transport but the current model which does SACD too is way beyond the desired budget.. Many people seem to like the Audiolab 6000CDT. I believe Ca... | |
| Thiel Owners "In my opinion, many of the long-standing and ubiquitous criticisms of Thiel speakers as 'bright, in your face, aggressive', etc. are due to amplifier distress." I couldn't agree more. I've owned 2.3s, 7.2s and now 3.7s. In addition, when a ... | |
| Thiel Owners The proper place to cross over an added subwoofer (and I've owned a bunch of Rels (over 20 years) is first to measure where the mains drop off in your room. Bass frequencies sum. So if your mains and sub are playing the same frequencies you'll o... |
