Is time coherence more important than dynamics: Gallo versus Green Mountain
I have owned many speakers of all sorts of different design types - from Quads, to omnis, to many box speakers of various topologies. I admit that time/phase coherence is intellectually attractive to my audiophile brain. It just seems to make sens... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I went on a financially ruinous vinyl splurge over the last couple days - much of it centred around brazillian 70's gems of disco, funk, funk/jazz etc. Also picked up another gem of electronic music that was released not long ago:Buchla Concerts ...

Thanks for the reminder about Yello, ronkent. Yello has been mentioned by reviewers and audiophiles for as long as I can remember, but I never bothered listening. I’ll see if it’s available on Tidal.astewart8944,If you haven’t done so, on the Dave... 
Talk but not walk?
Hooboy...It looks like even more people have had enough of the passive-aggressive marketing act. Why am I returning with this post? Because Michael decided to return to imply more nonsense about me and others. Michael Green wrote:Can I be straight...

Nice to see that EBTG is gettin' some luv here.They are certainly a talented duo, and as musicians open to experiment.If you like electronica, they had some fantastic electronica albums in the 90's that were very well regarded and influential, and...

jafant,What stage are you at with your system?You have the 2.4SE is that right?  How are they sounding and what amps/sources are you using? 
Surprised
oldschool1,Also it’s important to have the sub the same distance from your listening position assuring there is no phase shift. A common mistake is stuffing a sub in the corner and their mains are 2-3 feet forward of them. This creates a timing is... 
What Matters and What is Nonsense
I’m all for audiophile jewelry! That is I do like manufacturers to pay attention to the design and finish of their components. At the expense of sound quality? Of course not. But these items are not going in to a closet - especially speakers which... 
Talk but not walk?
^^^^ Yet another in a long string of "why you mad, bruh?" posts, that simply ascribe a negative emotion or motivation to someone, while claiming "why not be cheery like me?" rather than address the issues under debate. (There is a frankly eerie co...

geoffkait:  My degree is Aerospace Engineering with mathematics a specialty. I had the most credits ever accumulated for an undergraduate at Virginia. Ever. Now, if he studied dynamic programming as I have then maybe I will say that is real engine...

Well I finally put my order in for a set of spare drivers for my 2.7s.I'm getting a coax, woofer and passive radiator.  This was actually precipitated by thielrules's post that I saw last night just as I was going to bed, saying that Rob "has sold... 
Talk but not walk?
Whoa, took a peek in here. I’m not back to engage in any extended debate (there isn’t any to be had), but......I see audiopoint isn’t falling for the passive-aggressive marketing act going on in this thread. ;-)Perfectly exemplified by these kind ... 
Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing
My speakers sit on a shag rug, on a wood floor.Thus far, my speakers (several) have all sounded best - tightest, most tonally convincing - simply placed on the rug - no footers or spikes.

I've never heard the Thiel 3.5s (that I recall) but used to listen to the 3.6s here and there, though many years ago.  So you have to take any comparison I'd make with a big grain of salt.   That said, I also lived with the big Thiel CS6 speakers ... 
We give up perspective to avoid tone controls
@vtvmtodvmI completely missed your extended lesson on setting up the JL subs!!!!Thanks a billion for taking that time! I will go through it more carefully when I’m about to set up the subs. I also have the Soundoctor tracks and the set up advice p...
