| Revel Performa F228 Be speaker... thoughts? mtrot,all ported speakers work that way but speakers with larger boxes get lowers before dropping off. The subject of this thread the 228be is on example and it goes down to 60hz before heavy roll off starts. The Sophia 3 is another example. Even ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k well money is relative, $70k is not a lot of money to some people and to others it is unattainable. Anyway people really need to know amp your using. Can it handle a low impedance hard to drive speaker? | |
| Kevin's Tannoy priced as a Single speaker?? Price per pair would be fine if they would sell them that way. Try to buy 3 sometime for home theater and you will surly get the run around. | |
| Replacing B&W HTM3 tweeter cone Good to hear. | |
| Replacing B&W HTM3 tweeter cone The assembly might be easier but you probably have to take out the midrange to get to the assembly screws. I would assume it is screwed in from the inside. There also might be beauty ring covering the actual screws of the driver. Some videos below... | |
| Thiel Owners tonywinga,yes I think we are listening for the same thing. I am just the peanut gallery so you can ignore me lol. Having had my Thiels in 4 different rooms now it is amazing how different every room sounded in the bass region. I have also found th... | |
| Thiel Owners duegi,I used a McIntosh MC462 on a pair of Thiel 2.4s for about 6 months and really liked the combination. Try to 2 ohm tap on the MC462. I found the highs softer and more relaxed on the 2 ohm tap. They are hard to find used but a pair of 3.7s wit... | |
| Will sun exposure damage my speakers? Yes keep them out of the Sun. As an engineer of 20 years in the polymer field you should keep your speakers out of direct sunlight. | |
| Sopra 2 Bass The lack of bass does not surprise me. The speaker’s bass drops like a rock after 50hz and steps down pretty hard even after 100hz (link below). Room gain will be very room dependent. Some rooms might even make it worse not better. I think izjjzi ... | |
| Sopra 2 Bass I would buy two subs even if you have to step down to a lower model due to cost. For music you will really not need that large or powerful of a sub. I would also use the highpass function of your McIntosh and 60hz is a good place to start… and pro... | |
| Thiel Owners Some music to try. Not really what I like to listen to musically but it has amazing detail and texture. Dominique Fils-Aime’ “Nameless” album. This album is demo worth and has the same type of low level details and texture in the drums/bass. I thi... | |
| Thiel Owners tonywinga, I understand now what you meant by bass improvement. Most people just mean more or harder impact and subs will do both for you. I am listening to the Stanley Clarke “East River Drive” album now listening for what you describe (new music... | |
| Thiel Owners tonywinga,We have conversed in other threads regarding the bass of wilson vs Thiel. I am still surprised you are wanting of bass owning two subs. A few thoughts, have you measured your room? You could have a hole in the bass. I struggle with a 10d... | |
| Thiel Owners jcatral14,It was a longtime ago but I made notes that day and still have them (sometimes it helps to be a dork). I demoed the Sophia 3 and Thiel 3.7 in the same room, same system, moving each speaker out of the way for each demo. I switched back a... | |
| Speaker Upgrade ... Please Help Me Best thing you can do is buy used on here. If you buy used you can step up to the focal Sopra 2 (these need subs imo unless placed close ((24-36”))to the front wall which can be questionable for sound stage but ok in the right room). They go for a... |
