| Thiel Owners devinplombier Think of it like the CS 7 to CS 7.2 conversion. Same cabinet but drivers upgraded and vital cover parts. In the CS5i the bass drivers were upgraded. The CS5i is the way to go. With the right amps and room it would take a considerab... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, I was only referencing amps in my experience how I came to become a Thiel owner. It wasnt intended to tout one amp over the other. The point to walkway with is, high current amps perform much better with the Thiel’s. Thats how they were ... | |
| For SACD fans only fred60, Why not consider an Esoteric K-01X on used market. They are sub 10k and will out perform a Esoteric K-05XD. Its a 70lb monster. US Audiomart has a few. | |
| Thiel Owners unsound, Good point. When I went to Lexington, Thiel had the Krell FPB 700cx powering a pair of CS 7.2. Could Pass 250.8 amps be used? Sure. Will they have the dynamic headroom or slam the larger amp has? No way. ronkent, Glad to hear you are e... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound, The CS 5i delivers thunderous bass with impact and authority. Not that it is a one trick pony and deficient in the the other frequencies but the bottom end ir very rare to hear in a speaker like this. The CS 7.2 has a 12" woofer wherea... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound, Allow us to get her make-up on before we reveal to the public. I'll leave describing the room concept to Tom as he was the designer of the room. He asked what perimeters he had to work within, as far as footprint, and he went at it ... | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdy, A pair of CS 3.7 are on my list to purchase. They have to be in very good condition and within a reasonable driving distance for me to purchase as shipping is not an option with the high risk of damage. With that said, as upgrades are be... | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg, The last iteration, which implemented this new technology, had me scratching my head. It was very obvious something significant changed from the last iteration, This is when I just wanted to sit back and listen to music thru these monit... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, This really wasn’t about gear. It was about testing the room and proving concept. it wasn’t until the third day (Sunday) that we really listened to music. Even then it wasn’t ideal as my tube pre amp left channel wasn’t firing so we work... | |
| Thiel Owners oblong, Great choice of speaker in Thiel line. I have a pair in zebra wood. Unfortunately mine has some cosmetic issues from shipping. I discussed this with Tom and my plan is to refinish them with a beautiful automotive finish. I have new gr... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, I’ll get some images of the room soon. Meanwhile I have my list of "To Do’s" that needs to be accomplish before your second visit. I had a customer stop by the other day to pick up some parts we made for his Clearaudiio turntable. He wante... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, The cabling for final listening test was Tom's which is what will be the internal cabinet wiring as well. I'll let Tom speak to the specifics regarding that. We were not focused on gear as much as sweeping the room and getting the room ... | |
| Thiel Owners Reporting in as to the progress made regarding Thiel Renaissance. I had the pleasure of having the man himself, Tom Thiel, come for a visit to evaluate what he has been working on the last few years. This was a planned visit for almost a year b... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? audiophile1, Nice system with great room layout. Break-in with continuous load within a week you are pretty much there. They do open up with usage. As with previous lines with Audience, the mids jump out at you in a good way. With the Front R... | |
| Thiel Owners I sure will when I get them done. Right now I'm working on a room for my CS 7.2 and CS5i. I love the less is better approach Thiel undertook. The mid-century modern look is timeless. |
