| Zaph SR71 kit with concrete baffle Yeah, they're flush. The woofer is flush with the ring in the picture and I did the tweeter since then. The baffle is ready, I just have to get back to this project. I ordered some epoxy resin and I'm gonna try to make the other one where the d... | |
| Thiel Owners Don't forget the ViewPoints. My working one sounds fantastic. | |
| Thiel Owners Forgot to mention serial number 259 and dates on backside of tweeter domes 3/06. (both the original tweeter and the one I bought a few months ago, and written by the same person.)backhttps://imgur.com/a/tt0o7XUfronthttps://imgur.com/IUIyi2A | |
| Thiel Owners Here's a picture of the other side. While it is on a PC board, there isn't really any significant tracing. All of the components are connected via solder except one short spot on the left. That appears to be part of a secondary path to the twee... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - Thanks for the feedback, I think the crossover must be what is described as point to point. All of the components are soldered directly together on the back of the board. I don't see any other possibility than one of the three components h... | |
| Thiel Owners I finally got around to trying to figure out what was going on with the ViewPoints I bought in March. I had bought a replacement tweeter and installed it but it wasn't working right. I took the speaker apart and played around trying to get it to... | |
| Thiel Owners It's funny to see people discussing concrete baffles. I'm back to my Madisound kit for the first time in a year and trying to make concrete baffles for them. I've tried several kinds and thus far they haven't worked. I have no experience with c... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? I can't believe how long this has gone on. I think this thread proves that one of the main requirements to be an audiophile is the ability to obsess over what obviously doesn't matter. I'm gonna go buy an Audioquest dragon hc power cable to demo... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers The nice thing about something that costs that much is that almost no one will ever hear them in a situation where they can really tell if they're great. No dealers will have them on display. Anybody can claim anything they want about them. The... | |
| Thiel Owners @last_lemming I haven't found Thiels to be particularly power hungry. I'm sure some are but some definitely aren't. I've had my 2 2s hooked up to very moderate amps and they've sounded great. | |
| Thiel Owners I find it interesting to explore places I used to live or used to spend time at on Google maps. I figure that old farmhouse must've been real close to here and judging by the look of the houses there now it might still be standing. Look familiar... | |
| Thiel Owners @blue222 - You're asking a lot. I'm thinking your best bet is to buy a plain power amplifier and run your computer headphone out to it using RCA cables and an adapter. This and the comparable items are decent options I think. Nuforce is suppose... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant we're entirely different species of humans who appreciate what Thiel was trying to do. It's worth noticing I think. You and I are on opposite ends of a spectrum. I don't mean to be critical or demeaning at all. You have something I do ... | |
| Thiel Owners @Jafant - I agree about the cost effective implementation. There's a lot of value in making something people don't need to be rich to own. That approach is why this thread exists. There'll never be a Wilson or magico equivalent. So many people... | |
| Does altitude change the sound of speakers?? If it changes the sound of speakers it's bound to change the sound of a lot of other things too. Does it seem to change the sound of anything else you've noticed? |
