| 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 short piece about the end at Thielhttps://hometheaterreview.com/the-last-days-of-thiel-audio/ | |
| 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... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? ATC Active 40 or 50. Active means efficiency isn't a factor. Lots of detail, coherence, dispersion. The pro 50 is better but the home 40 may be voiced for home use and sound better at low volumes. | |
| Thiel Owners I definitely remember reading that Jim thought that biwiring caused more problems than it solved. Sounds like he tried it once, decided it was a bad idea, and never did it again. "A single pair of five-way binding posts on the loudspeaker's bott... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? A number of years ago (10 or 15?) I read that when Harbeth started getting more popular they had to decide whether they wanted to upscale the company to meet demand or raise prices and keep their production capabilities stable. They decided to ra... | |
| Individual International Seller Scam I agree with the guy who says to google for pictures. I've found a couple of deals that appeared to be too good to be true and when I googled what was for sale I found the exact picture used in the ad. I saw the same thing on craigslist where a ... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? I can't find a dealer list for Harbeth in the US. Fidelis is the distributor but they don't seem to list other dealers. I know there are a few but I'm not sure how much of a presence Harbeth actually has. They get talked about a lot but I'm gue... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemania, I don't think it did too badly at low volumes but I cranked it up pretty quickly to see how it would do with something loud and meaty and it wasn't up to it. I was at the dealer and I didn't spend a whole lot of time listening for su... | |
| Thiel Owners For long posts that take a while to write you should enter them in notepad first and then paste them into the web page when you're finished. That way if something goes wrong when you push post you won't lose it and can just do it again. | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemania - I'm not 100% sure but I think it was the little one. |
