| thiel 3.7 owners I went from the N802s directly to Thiel 3.7s back in 2012. I thought the Thiels were better across the board. They have less bass but the quality is unquestionably superior. The midrange was clearer. I definitely heard/understood things throug... | |
| When people upgrade from Thiel I had B&Ws for a long time. First the N804 and then the N802. While I had the 802s I bought a pair of used, old Thiel 2 2s to try them out. I really liked them so a couple of years later I replaced the N802s with Thiel 3.7s. In my opinion ... | |
| Thiel Owners If you go over to Thiel's facebook page there's far more interest in older Thiels than in recent models. Lots of pictures of systems with real Thiel speakers and people talking about how great they are. Virtually no interest in the current stuff... | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? I miss my infinity intermezzo 2.6s. I upgraded from them to b&w n804s and it wasn't really an upgrade. The infinities were better. I couldn't admit it at the time but even then I realized that there were things the infinities did better. I... | |
| When people upgrade from Thiel I wouldn't say that I upgraded from Thiel but I would say that I augmented my available speakers by buying a big pair of active ATCs. They don't make me like my Thiels any less but they do some things that the Thiels wont, like play very loudly. ... | |
| How would you get into the biz? I think we've reached a time when speaker boxes should consist of tapered tubes that are the theoretical ideal for absorbing the back wave. B&W and Vivid have made very expensive speakers with this feature but I think it's high time more comp... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm curious if anyone has bought or knows anyone who has bought a pair of post Jim Thiel speakers from Thiel. There is a 4 store chain here in Chicago that was a Thiel dealer for decades but they aren't any more. Does anybody know if the new spe... | |
| Full range or subwoofer with bookshelfs for best bass at low to moderate volume? In my experience if you listen mostly to small scale music then a sub/sat approach is best. If you like large scale music - symphonies, hard rock, maybe big band, then you'll prefer full range speakers. Small woofers aren't satisfying on really ... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! I don't find it the least bit surprising that Paradigm can make a speaker as good as magico for a lot less money. I'd be surprised if they couldn't. They're a bigger company with more knowledge and experience. Since they've always built to more... | |
| Wireless speakers for a second room? I've never done this but have thought about it. Parts Express has a simple and not too expensive possible solution.https://www.parts-express.com/terk-lf30s-wireless-24-ghz-wireless-a-v-entertainment-expansion-system...If I were you I'd just accep... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. I have a couple of pairs of speakers that I don't have any desire to upgrade. I got a pair of Thiel 3.7s about 5 years ago that are fantastic. They don't have any weaknesses really. I've also got a pair of custom built ATC 110 ASLs that I bough... | |
| Interesting Magico news Magico always seemed like a company that was started by someone with knowledge of sophisticated manufacturing techniques but who wasn't a particularly good speaker designer. They used their knowledge to create wildly overpriced products because t... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? I'm surprised there aren't more people talking about tyler acoustics for requests like this. They specialize in really big speakers that will really rock with good quality drivers but that don't cost a ton. | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket I always wanted to try a pair of the big tyler acoustics speakers. |
