| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker Well Crutchfield has the 2.7 listed for around $10,000 a pair. I still like my 2.4s and also like the 3.7s but at 10k I don't see the 2.7 selling. If you can afford 10k you can afford 13 and that is a no brainier. Now at 13k there are lots of grea... | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Used Revel Salon Ultima 2, best speakers I have heard at any price (never heard Magico and some others). I can't say anything bad about them, find a demo. Great bass, I mean really great and everything else is good too. They are 22k new and around... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1,2, or 3? Doug,There is a DIY version of just about every brand on there. The devil is in the details though. | |
| If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers? By fake sounds I mean breaking heads of broccoli to create broken bone sounds and electronically rendering explosions. To me home theater needs to be dynamic and have bass power without overhang with clear vocals. The added natural Trimble you get... | |
| If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers? For theater you are wasting your money. Be happy with what you have. Why care if fake sounds are produced accurately? The difference in the 802d and 804 is the bass power and mids are more open. You will not be able to tell any difference in the m... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1,2, or 3? I would check out a used pair of Revel Studio 2 also. I feel they are margianlly better speakers than the Sophia 3 and they sell for $8000 on here (save 3k and get better gear...)By better it is, more coherent with better highs, with more natural ... | |
| Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre Near field is about the same (a little more detailed) but you can get away with smaller speakers because they don't need to fill the room, only the listening area. You also tend to get less rom effects. | |
| Can you guys recommend some decent in-walls? Skip the Polks. I got my parents a pair of their inwalls a few years ago. They like them but they are very dull with no life. Another option would be to buy self powered speakers and run them off of something like an apple airport express. Then yo... | |
| Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre Are you open to sitting near field? You will have a lot of studio options if you are. | |
| System upgrade, need advice, source or speakers? Source is just toppings and speakers are whole other flavors. | |
| Case of the dissapearing Bass The Rotel is enough power to make the bass but you could get more texture with more power. Better amps tend to be more detailed in the mids/highs and power seems to affect bass tonality in my limited experience. I demoed the 802d on both Rotel and... | |
| New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM I like the concept but a larger panel option would be nice. | |
| Help my Thiels broke - not sure what to do Just do it your self. I changed a tweeter in my 2.4 can it took about 5 minutes (I don't solder either). I called up thiel and they even sent me some of the solder they used in the speakers for free. Make sure you use flux (the silver solder will ... | |
| How Many Tweeters Does A Speaker Need?? OneThe only reason I see for having more tweeters is to have more output and effectively lower the stress on each driver. But there are a number of issues that are created by running two drivers with the same frequency range. | |
| Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are? Not sure your find anything as the 2.4 are pretty nice at their list price and compare pretty well with speakers that cost more. Vandersteen (ugly) Usher' and magnepan 1.7s come to mind. There is a pair of usher Dancer Mini 2 on here way below nor... |
