| Thiel Owners unsound, Yes sir two pair of CS5i. Running one set with Class A mono’s is a test of endurance in addition to the heat generated that it being summer in the south. Running two sets in same room would be as hot as fish grease I’m sure, but I’m g... | |
| Thiel Owners Notch filter in. I am running tests in mono so I can directly compare to stock. I'm running current through the 7.2 and see where we are at when I hit the 40-50 marker. ronkent, Keep those amps warmed up as I will head your way after I get ba... | |
| Any Thiel CS7.2 or PowerPoint 1.2 crossover mods to share? I would heed the advice from unsound. That crossover is very complex. Tom Thiel has taken a deep dive into this and has been working on it for some time. The link provided will get you the info you need from real users and the man himself. I... | |
| Thiel Owners oxfordamps, Regarding crossover upgrades this is one of many steps to catapult the 7.2 into sonic nirvana. The notch filter upgrade for upper mids uses electrolytic caps as they are high value (4-100uf) and using a film cap instead would have b... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent Thanks for the link.I read the thread in its entirety last night. After reading, it only encourages me to want to demo the Rex 300/500 even more. The VK 90 was also on my radar as well. With the VK 90 there is the option to upgrade to t... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent, It hasn't come through yet but when it does I'll respond. I'm Still awaiting any info on Rex 300. I tried call BAT but it went to voicemail. Another candidate is Sims Audio Moon 761/861as they are at almost the same price points. Fro... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent, "I'm your huckleberry and listening to the Thiel's is just my game". I PM you sir and I'd be honored to be invited. I knew ig316b would stir up meaningful discussion regarding subs. What Tom and Unsound mentioned about that no subs, ... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? Yes the densified woods Permali, Jabroc, Panzerholz are very similar. I have used them all including Festholz. They machine very well but Festholz makes such beautiful parts. Dial in your feed speed and approach at the correct rpm and you will no... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? devinplombier Thanks for info on Linkwitz. Madisound and Linkwitz store appear to be slightly different so one needs to do their due diligence before pulling the trigger. I've reviewed the plans and made notes of construction changes I'd most l... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent, I'm aware of the cost and weight difference between the Rex 500 and Rex 300. I'm trying to simplify rig(s) as I use a different amp for a different set of Thiel speakers. No silver bullet that's for sure. I thought of the same thing th... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent I sure will. Dynamic headroom is a must for me so if the first watt sounds great and I can get plenty additional watts then why not. I have Pass XA200.5 in room now. I was using Bricasti M28 before that. If you look at the lid off the R... | |
| Thiel Owners velocityofhue, I realize the BAT VK600 amp is much older than the Pass 150.8 and understand the power difference. From your assessment what are the sonic differences between the two as I've found BAT to be a viable amp to mate with Thiel's. I'm ... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent My apologies for typo. | |
| 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... |
