| Thiel Owners Room is slow going as I do as much as I can each day with my heavy work schedule. I feel it will deliver the goods when completed. With Thiel's most users make the mistake of not having the proper sized room or setting them too close to the wall... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, You are not mistaken. I own a white pair of CS 2.7. I also have a pair of CS6 in Zebrawood and a pair of CS 2.4SE. With the room being built the big Thiels will be getting most of the attention. With that said it will be relatively easy... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, Right now I have two pairs of CS5i in dark walnut and Brazilian rosewood. Also I have CS 7.2 in cherry. They will occupy the new listening room in rotation of course. I miss that bottom end the big Thiel's bring to the table. I'm wor... | |
| Thiel Owners Ironically, it seems like I have a track record of logging in more work hours during this holiday weekend. | |
| Thiel Owners usaltus, If you mentioned this in this thread already please excuse me for asking if already stated. What amp(s) are you using to run these power hungry speakers? Have you compared the CS5 to any other Thiel speakers? I ask as I like to see ... | |
| Thiel Owners Out of curiosity how many in this discussion have Thiel CS5i? | |
| Thiel Owners igmaty, Congrats to your seat at the table. That speaker is a steal on the used market . My advice would be not to use your current amplification as they will add too much distortion and most likely clip and possibly lose a driver, or two. Amps... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, I have many oars in the water at the moment but will get there when time presents itself. | |
| Thiel Owners anzen, For me, after weighing all the options, and outboard crossover makes sense. Among the benefits choosing a cap based on it's sonics rather than size, inboard needs to fit in speaker cavity, was a large factor for me. vair68robert, My e... | |
| Thiel Owners vair68robert Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I would think any film cap would be better than the 400uf electrolytic cap that was in there. The large values 220uf and 330uf are tough to find replacements that would fit in t... | |
| Thiel Owners vair68robert, Excuse me if I've missed your comment concerning your XO upgrade. When you changed too 4- 100uf Mundorf caps what improvement did you hear? Very nice speakers. You'd be hard pressed to find a better speaker under 12K that out pe... | |
| Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones What speaker's walls/baffle/floor base is carbon fiber solely. A .030-.050" veneer does not make a speaker carbon fiber nor does a Rosewood veneer make a speaker rosewood. Carbon at a thickness to resemble a wood cabinet would be very brittle in... | |
| Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC That is the first I've heard this and now I understand. Thanks. | |
| Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC I seem to be missing something. The M1 Series II is housed in a larger chassis from the previous version. If endusers are getting upgrades to the Series II upgrade level what's missing? From Bricasti "The M1S2 is focused on simplicity of desi... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, Like most things there are trade offs. The 2.7 are more transparent and dynamic. The 2.4 are more full bodied in comparison. I used different amp on each speaker as they brought a different sonic flavor. My belief is investring in th... |
