| Thiel Owners Just got the other one screwed back together and they're sitting on the floor playing. What an absolute joy. The plastic plate on the back is very cheap and flimsy, somebody deserves to get kicked in the scro for that. I'm gonna get some hardwa... | |
| Thiel Owners Just screwed my most broken ViewPoint back together and it sounds awesome. The woofer sounds great, no rubbing or distortion. I plan on using these as computer speakers so no need for high volume. I’m feeling rather proud of myself as I now have w... | |
| Thiel Owners I think I'm going to be able to fix these. When the magnet broke loose it caught the voice coil in the gap which is why the woofer was dead. I finally got the voice coil loose and it doesn't look damaged. I realigned it and it seems to be worki... | |
| Thiel Owners I just took apart the ViewPoints that FedEx destroyed. One works aside from the shattered back plate. On the other one the back silver part of the woofer is loose and the woofer cone itself is stuck. I tried to get it loose but no luck so far. ... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant, I'm pretty sure it was shipping damage. I think Fedex rolled the box down a mountain. | |
| Thiel Owners daaaaaaaang. Whoever didn't buy the viewpoints off ebay made a good decision. I just got them and the backplate that holds the binding posts on one is shattered and the woofer on the other is completely seized up and clearly not connected. Some... | |
| Thiel Owners Well, I bought a pair of ViewPoints off ebay for $450. I don't have a real specific use in mind yet. They might be surrounds, might end up used as computer speakers. Maybe I'll take them to work and use them to listen to music at work. I'm fre... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think In my experience small woofers are not satisfying for long. There's something wrong with the punch they produce. Small woofer speakers that produce deep bass rely heavily on port output and that is slow and low resolution. I don't think you nee... | |
| Thiel Owners Pair of white 2.7s in VAhttps://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649579278-thiel-27-speakers-rare-white-like-new/ | |
| Thiel Owners @jazzman7, these just showed up in the last day or two. These same goofballs are offering a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozarts for 4498. I bought a pair of Mozart grands for <500 when Best Buy dropped the line a while back. I realized how ridi... | |
| Thiel Owners pair of 2.4s at audio consultants until they close forever on 12/21. They're listed at 1700 but I think the extra 25% off on the front page puts them at $1,275. An obscene deal for what you're getting. Makes me wish I needed more speakers.http:... | |
| Customer Service at Bowers and Wilkins I traded in my B&Ws for Thiels about 7 years ago. Since then I've been kind of mad that I had the B&Ws for so long. The Thiels were better in every area I cared about. I had thought that the much larger company would be able to produce ... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? @cd318, when I say I find it disgusting I'm not saying that I've never succumbed to this instinct myself. I don't respect it and when I catch myself doing it I'm certainly disgusted with myself. | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I'm personally disgusted by conspicuous consumption and vanity products and that's all this is. It has no redeeming qualities. The 27k for paint is just an especially egregious example of it. I think it's something we should all avoid. Almost... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? @andy2 - "high-end" isn't an interesting term. Is it high-end or not? What if it's only mid-end? What if it's 53.5678124326243% high-end? It's just not an interesting term. obviously. |
