| $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. | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? @Andy, "high-end" is of no interest to me. I have no problem differentiating the two. People who are interested in audio want the best performance for however much they're willing to spend. People who are interested in high-end are of no intere... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? "paint shop or three for large shiny objects starting at $100 m each" - what? It's not a "high end" forum. It's an audio forum. These are two very different things. An audio forum is for people interested in audio. A "high-end" forum is for p... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? It's high time we admit that Wilson and a lot of other brands are vanity brands. Performance is far down the list of priorities. The silly prices are the appeal. It's sort of sad when you think about it. You find yourself in the top 0.1% and y... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) I don't believe that all of those exist. The higherfi opulence tweeter looks like it's way too high. Is there a real picture of those anywhere? I suspect they've never made a pair but if someone decides to make a $300,000 deposit they'll make o... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant, It's interesting to think about what an ideal location for a retailer might be. 40 years ago I bet a pretty high percentage of people walking into Audio Consultants were people who lived in the neighborhood. I bet now almost none of them... | |
| Subwoofer could be a bad connection. If I were you I'd get some contact cleaner and spray it on both ends of the interconnect connecting the receiver to the sub. | |
| Thiel Owners I can't believe Audio Consultants is going away completely. They had 4 stores in the area only 2 or 3 years ago. I live about 10 minutes from where the Libertyville store was and that's where I've bought much of my stuff over the years. I'm in ... | |
| Thiel Owners "in-room power response" - I don't know what that means and if I ever find the time to look into it it'll probably be decades from now. I will say that maybe the biggest reason I became a Thiel guy is that the 20 year old 2 2's I got for a second... | |
| MY THIEL 1.5 FLOOR SPEAKERS I doubt it. I don't know what a high end sound bar is but I'd be surprised if it could compete with, let alone beat, what you've already got. | |
| Thiel Owners I played around with test tones on my 3.7s and heard some mild vibration in the crossover. Something is resonating down there but I've never heard it with anything other than the test tone cd so I don't worry about it. Test tones can do funny th... | |
| Thiel Owners My thought has always been that the core system should be as accurate as possible but allow for an alternative when you want to listen to something that is hard to tolerate without some softening. In the past I've run two paths, one using the bal... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara - I bought my 3.7s in 2012 and then had kids in 2013 and 2014. I've moved 3 times since then and they've been in a bunch of less than perfect setups. While they'll be best in a big, well setup room, I think you can appreciate a ... | |
| Thiel Owners I've sucked out tweeters with toilet paper rolls before. I'd try that before resorting to a vacuum. My kids are 5 and 6 so for the last few years I've been trying to avoid them damaging my 3.7s. I actually built light frames around them and put... |
