| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line We're more like soviet russia now, it's not what you want, it's what you can get. I recently bought a small boat to take the kids on and went looking for an outboard. I'm in Northeastern IL and I couldn't find a 20hp outboard. I found a single ... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Judging by this thread I'd say low sensitivity speakers have the advantage of not having an hysterical cult following that refuses to accept that what is most important to them isn't necessarily what is most important to everyone. | |
| ATC and Loki I'm trying to make an abstract argument rather than personalize this and I don't think my personal experience is all that relevant. I've got a few systems. I've got ATC 110s in a family room system, Thiel 3.7s in what I'd call a den I guess, and... | |
| ATC and Loki How do you properly solve the problem of speakers not sounding right because they're not being played at accurate volume? | |
| ATC and Loki I don't mean they lack accurate bass, just that they sound like they do at low listening levels. It only makes sense for accurate reproduction at inaccurate levels to sound inaccurate. It is inaccurate. You can make it sound more accurate by co... | |
| ATC and Loki The downside to low level listening to accurate speakers is a lack of bass. It only sounds right if you're listening at levels closer to realistic for a real performance. | |

| Thiel Owners I have a pair of 2 2s, they were the first Thiels I owned. I got them for a living room system about 10 years ago. I consider them the best audio bargain of my life. They aren't for AC/DC fans but at moderate volumes they're just so enjoyable. ... | |

| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? My kids are in elementary school and don't have any interest in any media other than video games (mostly minecraft). I have to drag them away. Movies, tv, music, nothing. For a while they mixed youtube shows in and occasional movies and scripte... | |
| Thiel Owners The 3.7s on ebay are serial numbers 97 and 98 so it's an opportunity to get a pair with an original Lexington crossover. | |
| Thiel Owners @snbeall - get those from The Music Room? I saw some there a few days ago, wanted them, but I just don't need more speakers. I figure they'd be spectacular as computer speakers hooked up to my 20 year old Creek 5350SE and Cambridge DacMagic. | |
| Thiel Owners This makes me wonder if a cheap crossover is why I never warmed up to my MCS1. I bought it off Amazon in 2012 or later during the brief time Thiel was on Amazon. I love my 2 2s and 3.7s but I never found the MCS1 to be on the same level. I boug... | |
| nautilus 801 bass accuracy I had the N802s for a long time and the bottom port interacts with the room differently than most speakers. In my experience it decreases room resonance problems pretty dramatically. The port bass comes out in all directions under the speaker an... | |
