| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? tomtheil wrote:whereas deep bass benefits from near-the-floor coupling. This is one reason I’ve viewed some of the many boutique speaker platform/feet with a bit of suspicion. Many report sonic change in their speakers upon using these feet, but i... | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? Although I've been listening to my ripped CDs for many years, I now love listening to Tidal as well. Now I don't have to buy new CDs if I don't want to (with the one problem that building a Tidal library is nowhere near as convenient in terms of ... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Re Joseph Pearl:I absolutely love the tonality of the smaller Perspective and Pulsar models. I’ve never read a single bad comment about the big Pearls.Almost every comment, from writers covering shows, audiophile comments from shows and demos, and... | |
| Thiel Owners I just noticed those radiators too. I suppose someone actually looking to buy would have looked with a keener eye than I did, in passing. | |
| Placing Digital Sources under Turntable OK? Thanks,I actually use a DAC1 at the moment, but own a DAC2 that I'll be switching in.So the small raspberry Pi computer, and a small external hard drive would also be ok under the turntable base? | |
| Wow! Vintage HiFi magazines. Awesome, thanks! | |
| Thiel Owners Folks,I'm somewhat amazed that this pair of 3.7s has been sitting so long on Audiogon (and USAudiomart):https://www.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-thiel-audio-cs-3-7-2018-01-17-speakersThey are in a beautiful finish, apparently great condition. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Thanks again and please feel free to keep us informed.I've never upgraded a speaker before so I'll keep my eye on suggestions, and it may some day give a nice excuse to drive my speakers down to Kentucky to Rob for an upgrade.What kind of soni... | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? Thanks, I’m aware that everything is trade offs, but the passive radiator seems such a successful trade off I’m intrigued that it’s not used more, vs the much more common trade off of, say, ported. Having owned and listened to many sealed designs,... | |
| Thiel Owners ish_mail,Makes me wonder if I'll get along with just my CR-1 analog crossover to dial in the subwoofers, and not use the DSP units I bought for the subs (I have both the Dspeaker Anti-Node and the older Velodyne sms-1, which I bought second hand ... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Not that I think there is any interest left in this thread but...Bit more update:1. Today I received my order of the ASC Wall Damp material, suggested by bdp24. Thanks bdp24! I ordered their cheapest box of 25 4"X4" self adhesive sheets. My main... | |
| Thiel Owners pops,My little Thiel 02s have been my "back up" speaker since the early 90's.Though not a CS design, they have taught me so much about what I like in a speaker. As a reference and a source of pleasure, I could never get rid of them. | |
| Thiel Owners I just dropped in to a new high end audio store near me that sells some wonderful products. I sat down to listen to some music that was playing on a set of speakers and it re-enforced yet again to me how much I value the lack of boxiness, precisi... | |
| Thiel Owners Thiels I think have a true to life tonality in general, but their neutrality is really nice blank slate that you can push in the direction you'd like.I use tube amps to push them in the direction I like.Tube Amp Owner Rejoice!http://thielaudio.bl... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks very much again Tom. Very timely information in my case, and much appreciated! |
