| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Room correction helps but it will not solve the problem. It won't stop the room from having resonant frequencies. If you eq the peaks flat it will sound weird because you have to make huge cuts. Bass traps will actually reduce the peaks/valleys... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room I'd definitely look into active pro monitors that are intended for nearfield use. Not only do they sound their best up close but they have active woofers that create inherently tighter bass. Focal SM9, ATC SCM25 and a bunch of others in the rang... | |
| speakers with balls I agree with the JBL recommendations. Magnepan isn't a good rock speaker really. I don't know the Gallos but generally speaking, you want a large woofer that isn't crossed over too low. I'd guess those Gallos are crossing over to the woofer at ... | |
| Ideas on amp for Thiel Why do you think the amp is the problem? | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics Something very directional like Magnepans would decrease the echo but they have a smaller sweet spot. Any conventional box speaker will have the echo. Something with a small midrange will have more even dispersion so the echo should be less obje... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? @Prof I think your point combined with "do you think we are investing thousands and thousands of dollars in matching equipment to make the Personas especially the 9H's sound great if it wasn't necessary?" demonstrates to all reasonable people that... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I recently decided I wanted a new preamp. I have a Bryston bp25 that I've had for 10+ years and a benchmark dac2 that I'm using directly into amps in another system. After reading a ton the last few months I've re-concluded a decade later that t... | |
| Thiel Owners I blew a mid on my 3.7s listening to Beethoven. It's just so crankable. I was underpowered at the time. I added a second amp and run bridged mono now with around 7-800w/channel into 4 ohms and haven't had a problem since. That was about 6 year... | |
| Thiel Owners My 3.7s have pink fiberglass insulation in the mid/tweeter compartment. Maybe switching to wool could be a part of an upgrade? | |
| Thiel Owners That series of Classe amps definitely doesn't double into 2 ohms. I have a pair of the 200s and they were 200/400/500 watts into 8/4/2 ohms. It's hard for me to imagine 600 watts/side isn't enough. Much more than that and your amp will be in da... | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? The 3.7 is not bright. If somebody finds it bright it's because they have bright electronics, a bright room and/or prefer a rolled off sound. They are actually very similar in balance to the 2 2s. | |

| Thiel Owners This thread is a great example of why brands like Thiel that stay on top of the cost/performance tradeoff are likely to have better products than the cost no object "luxury" brands like Wilson or magico at any price points where they compete. A l... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers The thing that enhances the experience for me is knowing I got the best performance for the money. (That doesn't mean buying from someone who doesn't know what they're doing or ripping anyone off in any way.) I like the idea that I got something... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? When it comes to dispersion I think it's a question of whether the off axis response is just lower in volume or whether the off axis frequency response is bad. When I think of bad dispersion I think of a speaker that has good on axis response but... |
