| Thiel Owners I think focusing on doubling is somewhat misguided. If an amp is stable and low distortion into 2 ohms it should be fine. How much power can it put into 2 ohms? An amp that can put 300w/ch into 2 ohms can put 150 into 4 ohms and 75 into 8. Wha... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara1 I bought 3.7s in 2012 and had kids in 2013 and 2014. Audio dropped way down on my priority list and I had them in several far from ideal spots. I had them right next to each other for a while and they sounded great. You don... | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 they have a black silver weave pattern. They're pretty old, the color has probably changed. | |
| Thiel Owners I've been driving my 3.7s with a pair of bridged mono Cambridge 840W's for a long time. I think they're great. I thought they were clearly better than the pair of Classe CA200's they replaced. They've been in my system for close to 10 years now... | |
| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? I can't get past the first sentence of these posts anymore. | |
| Thiel Owners I bought a pair of viewpoints off ebay several months ago but when they arrived the box had been abused and one was broken. One of the tweeters was shot so I bought another only to have it immediately go bad. I measured the voltage output and it... | |
| Thiel Owners After having my broken viewpoint sitting on the floor taken apart for a few months I decided to buy the single powerplane on ebay for $135. I'm curious if it has the same innards as the Viewpoints or if the crossover will be a little different. ... | |
| Baby Proof Floorstanding Speakers I'd go to the local Home Depot and buy a 2' x 4' piece of plywood 1/2" thick or more. Cut it in half and attach each 2' x 2' piece to the bottoms using the spike threads. It'll be cheap and make them very difficult to knock over. | |
| The best speakers over 50K >50k means almost nobody knows them well. It's a nonsense price range where appealing to vanity is far more important than performance. | |
| Poor Fritz 20 years ago people calling each other names on the internet was a problem. People got really angry and tried to track each other down. That ended, we've all seen millions of trolls, been called names a million times, and no longer respond with ... | |
| ATC placement help In my experience they are less sensitive to placement than most speakers. The sealed box means the bass starts dropping off slowly at a relatively high frequency. This is a blessing in most rooms because it reduces the huge bass peaks that most ... | |
| Thiel Owners Old Thiel was probably always there but the URL www.thielaudio.com was redirecting to the new Thiel IP address for the last several years. That probably expired and the url is pointing back to the old IP address somehow. URLs like www.thielaudio... | |
| Should music critics also be audiophiles? It's because they get more than their fill at work. They get to be professional musicians because they practice way more than they feel like. | |
| velodyne dd plus? still considered best of the best? They're not considered the best of the best but they're good enough. Deep bass doesn't need to be perfect. The room causes far more problems than the driver. I've got a 14 year old DD18 that works fine and I'd never consider replacing it unless... | |
| Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?.. If you wanted to make big concrete speakers, the way to do it would be to make them modular. Stack 6" high sections on top of each other separated by thick gaskets. They need to be something that is assembled in place. You don't want to try to m... |
