| Thiel Owners Regarding differences between Thiels and Vandys, I only had brief demos of vandy 3’s, 5’s and my newly acquired CS5’s.my impression was the vandys offered a wider sweet spot but the Thiels have greater clarity. Granted I only have theThiels a shor... | |
| Thiel Owners Tomthiel;i little more about my CS5’s: serial numbers 183/184 probably make them fairly early production.previous owner informed they were sent to a Maryland authorized Thiel tech for upgrades, namely woofers and internal wiring for what he termed... | |
| Thiel Owners Tomthiel,thanks for your advice.I am using Bryston 7b monoblocks.i don’t think power is the problem but I will change the Parallel/series mode setting so they double down in the 2ohm loads. will let you know if that changes anything. Then I’ll pu... | |
| Thiel Owners Is it too late to join this party?2+ years and 100 plus pages of forum discussion proved too much catch up reading, so hope you all don’t mind me jumping in at the risk of repeating what may have been covered.i just got a pair of CS5i and am goin... | |

| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... @prof Just wondering how long it may have taken you to get the Thiels placed in your room. From reviews it seems they are Very capable but finicky to placement, very narrow sweet spot and power hungry. The 3.7s are on my short list along with Van... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market In continuation....so what does this have to do with speaker prices....everything.when I was ready to upgrade I went into the 10k-20k speaker price range.i narrowed it down to Verity Parsifal’s, Ultima Salons, B&W 802d, Egglestonworks Andra’s,... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market Please allow me to present a thought that may insult, but it’s my opinion.in the 50’s most radios had a single tone control where to one extreme gave you more bass/less treble and at the other extreme gave you less bass/more treble. Simple but lim... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market Orpheus,i disagee. The problem is not that economic conditions are holding people back from buying 6k speakers.i went to the NY audio show in November, majority of people walking around were 60+ , very depressing.Compare that to when I was young h... | |

| One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show. I attended the NY hifi show and felt it was a shame the size of the rooms would not allow most of the systems to do justice to their potential. So much time and effort from the exhibitors with costly equipment and other than the Martin Logan mono... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days When big screen TV's started coming down in price everyone thought movie theaters would go out of business. didn't really happen. In the past 7-10 years printed newspapers and magazines disappear more than the ones that survive. Definitely did hap... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant it Seems to me that the flexibility and cost saving to use class D amps for the woofer and AB amps for mid/tweeter is another positive reason speaker manufacturers should be evolving toward targeted amplification of drivers.so I guess the point Ba... |
