| Thiel Owners rankest, I've never experienced the Thiel's with the Coda gear but would like to someday. The BAT VK is a great preamp. Great place to introduce tubes is at preamp. | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? pindac, Yes I believe Kaiser uses Pz for their bracing but not sure about baffles/side walls/top/bottom/back. Clicking the link you provided the image tells me no they do not. I have A/B/C tested MDF, Finnish birch, and Pz. In blind test you ca... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent Unfortunately I have prior commitments. I see you have the 3.7. Very nice. | |
| Thiel Owners Right outside Charlotte. | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? Great points mentioned here. You get tremendous value, in which performance and cost are a part of, building your own speakers.. You get to select cabinet material, crossover upgrades, wiring, binding posts, footers, etc... all to your taste fr... | |
| Thiel Owners Reporting back from a visit with member ig316b. I wasn’t able to get the Upper mids notch filter installed but our session was very productive. ig316b can add but for me the focus was this. Amps. Not really comparing sonically, not for me any... | |
| Thiel Owners prof & thieliste, Thank you both for sharing your journey as it mirrors mine to a degree. I too have found it diificult to find a replacement speaker from the Thiels. Once you have them dialed in and with the right amp they are tough to beat.... | |
| Thiel Owners John, Welcome. Though I will not offer a specific amp amp, as I have not done the amp/1.6 evaluation in my test. I will say what is consistent across the producr line is big power and Class A, if it permits. I have a preference for the variou... | |
| Thiel Owners ig316b, I aacpt your offer. What part of NC are you loctaed in? I sent my amps out to be serviced so they should be back in a few weeks. Having Steves amps on CS 7.2 I'm curious how the 7.2 will respond. This will be a fun session. | |
| Thiel Owners ig316b, Amberwood is a beautiful wood. Congrats on the CS6 as they are great speakers. They are easier to set up than their older siblings and share some of the same characteristics. Not as difficult to drive as CS5i or CS 7.2. Great find. I ha... | |
| Thiel Owners devinplombier Indeed the CS5i are difficult to obtain. To find them in your region of the US and with shipping cartons becomes even more difficult. They have plywood crates so cannot understand why owners would not have the crates other than th... | |
| Thiel Owners devinplombier You are correct the CS5i is sealed and CS 7.2 passive radiator. When I mentined sealed speaker I was referrring to the CS5i. As Tom mentioned all the upgrades will be implemented across Thiel product line. I've listened to the CS... | |
| Thiel Owners prof, I agree on your assessment of the CS 7.2. My viewpoint is the 3.7 has better drivers and the 7.2 impliments their drivers better. The upgrade path for the CS 7.2 is pretty exciting. Utilizing Tom's Bi-Flow wire technology with prop... | |
| HELIOS Speaker Kit I've read up on the HELIOS Speaker Kit. and decided what the hell I'll make a set. Dont like the boxiness of the exterior so will do some 3D CNC machining for side panels. The interior obviously remains the same as the designers intended. I'm ... |
