| Thiel Owners Thanks for the fed back regarding McIntosh. I have heard McIntosh gear many times but never in a controlled environment with direct A/B comparisons. | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound, Thank you for the thoughtful response. I know that takes time and it is good food for thought. | |
| Thiel Owners As a general statement have you guys tried McIntosh amps with your Thiels? Do you like them? If so what did you like or not like. I am kicking around the idea of trying a MC462 with my Thiel 2.4. I realized there are better and cheaper amps. Than... | |
| Subwoofer xover settings for KEF LS50W (orig model) Jbs,good deal. How do you like the results? Happy with the sub as a whole? I am a big fan of subs and will probably never have a system without them. Do you know the slopes of the crossovers you use? 12 and 24db slopes need different overlap point... | |
| Thoughts on Legacy Focus SE vs Kef R7 or 11 vs Revel F208 or 228Be Both the Revels and Kefs have very wide dispersion and great imaging. I can only speak to the revels and kefs as I have never heard the Legacy speakers. The Revel 228be is very good technically. It is not far off in sound from the ultima line. Hon... | |
| Upgrading from Martin Logan ESL15a w/Force subs to Wilson Sasha Daw or Alexia 2 w/JL subs Almost all systems needs subs unless the mains have active subs. I would add a watch controller from wilson ($4500). It will take the system to a different level. You could pass higher then too if you are currently coming in under the mains (not a... | |
| Would you Upgrade? Onehorsepony,understanding your issues with the 3.7 I think you will end up with the same issue with focals. I have not heard the Sopra but 1037/1038be a number of times. They are just as revealing if not more so than Thiel and tend to be on the l... | |
| And yet, another speaker query Old B&W 702s I had. On certain female vocals the sound stage at the time was crazy deep and the vocals had magic 99.9% of the time the speaker was rubbish. Never found another speaker with the magic coloration again. Very grating speaker that ... | |
| Something about Thiel CS 3.7 I own the 2.4 and have also had them a long time. I demoed the 3.7 a number of times. The 3.7 is in a another league. It is an amazing speaker. Today it would cost $18k or more if it were still out. It will do everything your 2.4 does only better.... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? Deep basswide dispersion dynamic transients | |
| Focal vs dynaudio The 1028 with subs will be better than the 1038 without. You will end up using the subs even on the 1038. I have heard both and tried the 1000be? (Monitor model) with a fathom 13. I would not swop the 1028 be for the 1038 if I already owned the 10... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh What do you use as a source? If you are open to a computer and streaming there are many EQ plugins that are good. You could adjust the frequency to your hearing as needed. | |
| Would you Upgrade? Onehorsepony,“Trouble is, about 15 years ago I changed things up by purchasing a pair of Thiel 3.7’s and they never worked out for me.If I were to ask myself what I don’t like about my current 802D’s I would say issues with the soundstage and imag... | |
| Klipsch Heritage Range Oddiofyl,Can you give some details between the sound differences on the III and IV?I did a quick demo with the III with my own music but on a receiver and I was not very impressed but I blame the electronics. | |
| Smaller vs larger listening rooms? I currently have a 25x26x7’ dedicated room. I have everything setup a little out of center so I don’t sit in a bass null. It works well enough. I had the same system in a 13.5’x18x7’ room in my last house. The large room was harder to get the bass... |
