| Thiel Owners @snbeall - get those from The Music Room? I saw some there a few days ago, wanted them, but I just don't need more speakers. I figure they'd be spectacular as computer speakers hooked up to my 20 year old Creek 5350SE and Cambridge DacMagic. | |
| Thiel Owners This makes me wonder if a cheap crossover is why I never warmed up to my MCS1. I bought it off Amazon in 2012 or later during the brief time Thiel was on Amazon. I love my 2 2s and 3.7s but I never found the MCS1 to be on the same level. I boug... | |
| nautilus 801 bass accuracy I had the N802s for a long time and the bottom port interacts with the room differently than most speakers. In my experience it decreases room resonance problems pretty dramatically. The port bass comes out in all directions under the speaker an... | |

| Thiel Owners I find my 3.7s very lively and satisfying at low volumes. I've read that the superior drivers didn't need the very complex crossover that earlier models did. I also run stereo amps bridged mono so the gain is high and I have found that to result... | |
| system/room equalized flat from 20 to 20k cps--is yours? I've equalized the bass from 20hz to 100hz +-1db. I eventually decided it sounded too weird and gave up on it. I built a couple dozen bass traps and all sorts of absorbing panels. I don't think equalizing the bass to flat is a good idea unless ... | |
| Thiel Owners As someone who went from the B&W 800 series to Thiel about 10 years ago I will be the first one to tell you that you're making a bad decision. I found the Thiels to be better in every area I cared about. The B&Ws will play louder and hav... | |
| ATC50 -- moving : Do you have your foam inserts? You can buy edge and corner protectors, I'd start there. You'll need a big box that probably won't fit perfectly but you could cut cardboard pieces to fill in gaps. 16 Foam Corner Protectors for Shipping Protection Storage & Careful Packagin... | |
| thiel cs 2.2 muffle sounding and very low treble Yeah, most likely some drivers aren't working. The 2.2s are supremely enjoyable neutral speakers, but the first order crossovers mean each driver plays a very wide frequency range. I wouldn't be surprised if they sound muffled because only the w... | |
| Thiel Owners The 3.7 grill is a flat piece of perforated steel, covered in fabric, and attached to the front of the speaker with magnets. I've never thought about this before but the grills on my ATCs are also perforated steel with fabric covers. I've listen... | |
| Active Speaker Choice Nothing can take the room out of the equation. DSP can help some situations but if you've got a resonance at 60hz DSP can't eliminate it. I've got some big active ATCs that I got used for relatively cheap. They aren't DSP but they are unusually... | |
| Thiel Owners As a cable skeptic, I'm wondering how the length of speaker cables plays into this. If we assume that the perfect cable is transparent, shouldn't the ideal situation involve extremely short runs? Since I run mono amps I have a very short run of ... | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? When it comes to punch I find my 3.7s are transparent. If a recording lacks punch then it sounds that way. If it has been mastered in a way that makes it sound unnaturally punchy I notice that as well. These speakers will not give punch to reco... | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? There's no way to duplicate a big woofer playing mid and upper bass. I've gone back and forth and the energy isn't there without a big woofer, 8" minimum. The only way I've heard small woofer speakers rival big ones is nearfield. This is a good... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? @celtic66 Do you really think the people marketing range rover, rolex, bose, etc. had some exceptional marketing strategy that sustained these brands for this long? Can't be true. How could it be? They're more evidence of the inability to diffe... |
