| Metal cabinet speakers I think a lot of companies have dabbled in metal cabinets but most don't stick with it. Infinity did it with the intermezzo line and the Prelude MTS. Thiel had a number of models - powerpoint 1.2, viewpoint. ATC had a metal line for a while. B... | |
| Thiel Owners I bought most of my stuff at audio consultants. Libertyville and Hinsdale closed but Evanston and Chicago are still there. I mostly buy used and they've got a nice selection of used stuff. I've been watching their website for so many years if i... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the input imhififan and tomthiel. I'm thinking I can probably get good results from any of the bookshelf, in-wall, on-wall, tv or other possible models that were produced in the early to mid 2000s. The viewpoints come up pretty regula... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Magico is named magico. It's absurdly expensive so almost nobody has ever spent any quality time with it. How can anyone find this brand anything but ridiculous? You don't feel like maybe it's just appealing to your vanity? Maybe you're being ... | |
| Thiel Owners Anybody have any experience with the PowerPlane 1.2? I want to set up some rear channels and I'm probably never going to have the space for rear floorstanders. I know the powerpoints got more press but I'm wondering if the in-walls are sonically... | |
| Thiel Owners The auction is over. As far as I know this is the only auction of its type in the last 20 years. The TT1 prototypes went for $3,800. That surprises me. The raw drivers went for really cheap. The big Krell went for $2,700. I thought about bid... | |
| Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time saw this, I guess you need to be really careful about the speakers other than the blue tooth ones.https://www.strata-gee.com/angling-at-auction-for-a-deal-on-thiel-heed-this-warning/ | |
| 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... |
