| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Class D has high power and no audible distortion. Amplifier distortion is no longer a factor. High power class D amps more than make up for the difference in dynamic contrast between low and high efficiency speakers. High efficiency speakers ha... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Class D is going to make high sensitivity speakers obsolete. Amplification is a solved problem and the only thing left is to make it cheaper. The high end audio world has to a decent degree accepted that the Benchmark amp is essentially perfect.... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? When it comes to big vs little subs and one vs many, I don't care. I just want the best performance for the money. I already have a Velodyne dd18, Infinity Intermezzo 1.2, and the tiny PSB. One thing that I know is that it's impossible to get f... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Has anyone heard of or had experience with Snap AV? They are a custom install only brand that I had never heard of. I ran across some used subs on ebay for dirt cheap and they appear to be well-designed. They're sealed, and have phase knobs ins... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? I'm curious if anyone has tried having a multi-way sub array with several small subs throughout the room and one big one that only plays the lowest notes. If you give a big sub a gradual rolloff starting at 30 or 35 hz it's less likely to have ne... | |
| Thiel Owners @roxy54 it seems like you should have some sort of response. If you say nothing and wander off you'll be assumed slow. Is that what you want? | |
| Thiel Owners @roxy54 It's hyperbole but not kidding. It's my limited experience, I know it's not comprehensive. | |
| Thiel Owners You can't really appreciate this on other speakers. It's a real problem. This is so much better than whatever else it out there. It's so much better. | |
| Thiel Owners I'm once again listening to my <$1,000 Viewpoints and enjoying them beyond what seems right. So many people passed up this opportunity. What's the matter with you? | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? 100k or less, really? really? | |
| Can anyone identify theses B&W speakers? The 803s look wider to me. They were the same height but had bigger woofers and were wider. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I've tried digital eq, active, etc. and my favorite system is my Thiel 3.7s with some moderately priced but high powered ab amps, a bryston analog preamp and benchmark dac2. I think my second favorite is turning out to be an old system I've got a... | |
| Can anyone identify theses B&W speakers? Nautilus 804 would be my guess. could be 803s, they looked very similar. | |
| Thiel Owners A few days in and I'm really enjoying some solo cello on my computer system. It can't be a coincidence, I never listen to classical here. And I'm sure it's low res, poorly recorded or something. Whatever it is I'm really enjoying it here and I ... | |
| OMG - Room Acoustics are Critical - WAF be dam-ed!. When it comes to the environment the most important thing in my experience has been to live in a house made out of wood. My first house was brick and plaster. It was impossible to get good sound there. I made dozens of bass traps and lots of ot... |
