| 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... | |

| Thiel Owners I find my 3.7s very lively and satisfying at low volumes. I've read that the superior drivers didn't need the very complex crossover that earlier models did. I also run stereo amps bridged mono so the gain is high and I have found that to result... | |
| system/room equalized flat from 20 to 20k cps--is yours? I've equalized the bass from 20hz to 100hz +-1db. I eventually decided it sounded too weird and gave up on it. I built a couple dozen bass traps and all sorts of absorbing panels. I don't think equalizing the bass to flat is a good idea unless ... | |
| Thiel Owners As someone who went from the B&W 800 series to Thiel about 10 years ago I will be the first one to tell you that you're making a bad decision. I found the Thiels to be better in every area I cared about. The B&Ws will play louder and hav... | |
| ATC50 -- moving : Do you have your foam inserts? You can buy edge and corner protectors, I'd start there. You'll need a big box that probably won't fit perfectly but you could cut cardboard pieces to fill in gaps. 16 Foam Corner Protectors for Shipping Protection Storage & Careful Packagin... | |
| thiel cs 2.2 muffle sounding and very low treble Yeah, most likely some drivers aren't working. The 2.2s are supremely enjoyable neutral speakers, but the first order crossovers mean each driver plays a very wide frequency range. I wouldn't be surprised if they sound muffled because only the w... |
