| Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time The attempt to sell ridiculous products to the female market was precious. I'd bet that the Mark Mason designed products are great, though. They had no reason to exist because there are already a bunch of companies making similar speakers. At t... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers @lonemountain - it was Tom Thiel, brother of Jim Thiel of Thiel audio. He hangs out in the Thiel thread sometimes. He's long removed from the business at this point, Thiel no longer exists, he's not selling anything. I'm a fan of both brands an... | |
| Thiel Owners The auction of all of the Thiel inventory is going on now. It's rare for this many high quality speakers to all be for sale at once. I expect prices will be in deal of a lifetime territory.https://www.mclemoreauction.com/auction/complete-liquida... | |
| Acoustic treatment The reason I ask about adding smaller subs to a big one is that I, like a lot of people I'm sure, already have one big expensive sub. I would never buy three more like it. I measured the response with the Behringer ultracurve and measurement mic... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers I've been told that a passive crossover allows for more precise control compared with active. My understanding is that ATC builds such good drivers that they don't need a particularly complex crossover to make up for driver anomalies. | |
| Acoustic treatment Has anyone ever tried having a single big sub and a few more smaller ones? I'd think a single sub that goes to 20hz would be enough and then 3 smaller ones that only maybe go down to 30hz could be used to even out the response. Locate the big on... | |
| Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think? Having lived with the 2.2s for a long time I have to say that they aren't remotely bright. I'm not an Atkinson hater at all but he doesn't know how to measure Thiels. The first-order crossovers make them harder to measure. There may be some Thi... | |
| Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think? My first Thiels were the 2.2s and I consider them the best audio bargain I've ever gotten. I think you should at least try them. I don't know how they compare to the Heresys but they are great for the money. Slightly warm, punchy, smooth, and s... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel I have a pair of VA Mozart Grands I picked up cheap when Best Buy dropped the line a few years ago. In my experience if you want punchy, powerful sounding bass you need bigger woofers than the Mozarts have. They play plenty deep but I find them ... | |
| Opinions and recommendations on active loudspeakers If you want ATCs and are worried about built-in amps you can just order them with the remote amplifier option. They also sell passive speakers and stand-alone amps, and some active models that come with remote amps standard. http://atcloudspeake... | |
| Thiel Owners @harrylavo, 1000x yes. I have a similar setup with 2.2s and a Yamaha HT receiver that had a list price around $900 but that I got for about $300. It is a great little system. Ridiculously, obscenely good for the money. If I had found that comb... | |
| Thiel Owners bumpin around on youtube, thought this might be of interest. Rob Gillum being interviewed. You don’t have to wonder if he's a believer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55tQUNsE7GA | |
| Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics) Another brand I've always been curious about but that makes huge speakers that will fill a big room is Tyler. I assume they're not the last word in refinement but I don't have direct experience. They sure look fun.http://www.tyleracoustics.com/D... | |
| Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics) @kisst_amojan - If he decides to go with Focal I think the SM9 deserves consideration. Full warranty refurbs are available for $2100 each. They're best played fairly loudly but I have to think that's the intention. Performance for the money is ... | |
| Tool fan needs help with speakers (and electronics) If I were looking for a loud rock n roll speaker I'd probably go active. I actually did go active a few years back when I bought a pair of used ATC 110s for 5k. That was a rare find but those things will really rock. Music Direct sells a JBL li... |
