| Thiel Owners beetlemania,I'm always looking for the most immersive sound I can get, while not sacrificing image density.For whatever reason, the 3.7s can be spread ridiculously wide and still have focused images.The 2.7s, which are the next version of your 2.4... | |
| Thiel Owners @ish_mail Wow, I couldn't have asked for a more helpful response! What great information. Thanks for sharing as it will come in very handy!I'll let you know how things go. | |
| Thiel Owners @ish_mail I now have the JL Audio CR-1 crossover. I'm going to try and crossover my 2 JL 110E subs with my Thiel 2.7s this weekend.I'll have to go through your posts again, but do you have any direct advice for me as a starting point? Crossover ... | |
| Thiel Owners It's nice, if melancholy at the time, to notice the old Thiel Web Blog is still accessible. Tons of entries from when "Thiel was Thiel."http://thielaudio.blogspot.ca/The announcement of Jim's passing, with plenty of warm and interesting comments:... | |
| Thiel Owners I have to say I was made so anxious reading the news about Thiel last night I actually had trouble sleeping until I found out whether Rob would still be servicing/providing drivers.I’ve spent all too much time agonizing over which Thiels to keep, ... | |
| Thiel Owners Good news for Thiel owners!Yesterday after the news about Thiel closing, I’d sent Rob Gillum an email inquiring about about replacement drivers for my 2.7s.I received his reply today.Rob will be taking over the THIEL Service department - as previo... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! BTW, Rob Gillum returned my reply and...whew!..he is indeed taking over the THIEL Service department and service will continue to be available for legacy Thiels. | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! beetlemania,Yes, Phil's reference to a 10" woofer had confused me. Thiel's own literature on the 2.7 state an 8" woofer. (I would open up my 2.7 grills and confirm, except that I've got them fitted so perfectly they are a bit hard to take off).... | |
| Anybody Listen Voxativ? Voxativ speakers have intrigued me for quite a while. I've been doing lots of speaker demoing this year and Voxatic are on the short list of speakers I haven't heard yet but would love to. Unfortunately, no dealers anywhere near me. | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! @dgarretson Yes, I remember Phi posting about his experience helping design the 2.7but I’d forgotten his name.He posted in this thread:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=122636.0Here’s his post:I designed the crossover for the CS2.7 upgrad... | |
| Thiel Owners @marqmike Great info, thanks! | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! As I’ve written about in the Thiel owners thread:I’m not a Thiel-only guy by any means. I’ve owned all sorts of other brands of speakers I love, and I still own not only Thiel, but MBL, Spendor, Waveform, Monitor Audio, Hales.They all do something... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! Thanks for the insight beetlemania. Seems reasonable.As for post-Jim speakers: Jim must have passed on some engineering as the 2.7s were completed (and I believe designed, or partially designed) after his death. I can't remember the name of th... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! beetlemania,Given the way Thiel has been run since the new ownership, I’d presume the worst case scenario in terms of finances.Jafant mentioned Rob Gillium was working on become a proprietor for Theil legacy parts/work...but I don’t know that was ... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! Just noticed this thread.As I mentioned in the owners thread, I’m now very concerned aboutgetting the spare drivers I was just intending to order. I’d been in touch with the legacy parts department just a few weeks ago and the feeling was the driv... |
