| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? Chuck,Another alternative thought to the 7.2 would be a used pair of CS5i's. They are a significant improvement over the 3.6. And, they are in many ways the best speaker Jim ever designed. The abundance of drivers, three 8" woofs, a 4" Kevlar, a (... | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? One other thought, for someone who has measured speakers, knows how the crossover works, AND still finds it inferior, why in God's name would you buy them twice?F*** me once shame on you, F*** me twice shame on me, seems appropriate.Cone breakup, ... | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? You don't deserve a response, with that attitude, and lack of knowledge. Keep talking. | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? When I worked for THIEL, Jim Thiel, would almost always, set the 7.2's up as you have currently described; that is fairly far apart, as they have a large window of sound, and pointed almost straight forward--almost no inward cant to them.As I ment... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Good thought Tom, the mystique however misplaced, is perpetuated by the marketing."Is it better than Bose.?" I could have vomited, but he was completely serious.How can anyone look at their particle board cabinets and pseudo zoomy looks and not se... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Probably Bose, as a percentage to gross retail versus gross cost of goods.They were using, what had to be one of the least expensive drivers around in the 901's--and the were made in Kentucky.The drivers, I was told, cost them about $3.00 each. Do... | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? I presume from your question that you are looking to 'improve on' what you think is a good speaker; that is certainly a reasonable question.It would help to know what you liked most and least about the 7.2 as a speaker, to know what direction to t... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Lrsky is now registered as a commercial user. Again, my excitement in mentioning LSA was both premature, AND uncalled for, since I was not yet commercial.Sorry for any misrepresentation on my part.As to the best speaker under 10K one issue hauntin... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? President not Professor | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Dude,(least you forget that this is 2005, please) Larry will do just fine."In my experience and opinion full range dipoles do it best."That was your answer to, "Which speaker renders piano best."If I am not mistaken, YOU are a Sound Labs dealer, a... | |
| Dk Design VS-1 mkII what tubes are you using?? As a follow up, last night I was listening to a wide variety of music on the DK unit.This Integrated,(I almost feel blasphemous calling such a precision piece integrated, as if it somehow diminishes its performance)--makes music fun again.It does ... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? At the risk of sounding cynical, you don't know Essential personally, do you Pmi guy...or do you?All I did was HONESTLY answer an (albiet self serving question) honestly.I think Essential is within his rights to point out commercial versus private... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? The question was "best floorstander under 10K, not who builds it, so I am thinking that anyone can speak up who wishes to do so.Rich Vandersteen, Jim Thiel, Gayle Sanders et. al. have similar thoughts probably, and are presumably free to indulge t... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Make that the B&W 801's sorry for the typo. | |
