| Thiel Owners FYI:The"more bad news at Thiel" thread panicked me a bit.I am still deciding on which Thiels - 2.7 or 3.7 - to keep and I'll want spare drivers for whichever one (e.g. spare coax and spare woofers/passive). I spoke to Rob G. and as I understo... | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel For Thiel lovers, a visit to the current "Thiel" website is just sad. It's like returning to one of the great High End restaurants only to find they are now only serving "convenient" frozen dinners.What an awful move. | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel "Next phase" will be selling bathroom products with the Thiel logo. | |
| KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others Well, I'm glad Yoda has apparently joined the thread.Now I just have to parse the language - or pay the money - in order to move to the next dimension. | |
| Are you Sirius? I loathe...LOATHE!...Sirius!!!And it's not actually because of the music. It's for this reason:As many have experienced, my new car (a Volkswagen Golf, several years ago when it was new), came loaded with a month trial period of Sirius.I did not ... | |
| Michael Fremer's system As for "not getting great sound" in a room like that...Some of the best sound I've ever heard were large speakers in small rooms. (That includes mine, but I've heard higher end speakers in other small rooms). Often a small room means the speake... | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? I designed the AV room of my dreams, completed in 2010. My front room, 13ft x 15ft, had always been my two channel listening room and sounded excellent. But I got into home theater/projection big time and totally reno'd the room to have a 4 way ... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny,I hope some day you get a chance to try the 3.7s in your system. Apparently Jim was deliberately going for a higher efficiency than previous Thiels (Stereophile measure it just under 91.dB). The impedance was low, but as I've said many ti... | |
| Gradient Revolution Opinions All I know is that when I had my Quad 63/Gradient Subwoofer combo (built for the Quads), it was the most seamless dynamic speaker/panel match I've ever heard, before or since.The bass was almost as boxless as the Quad sound. Though, it also lacke... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! gdnrbob,Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have flexibility with the choice of subwoofers. My 2 channel speakers share the room with my home theater system, which is projection based. I only have a limited area along the front screen wall to place a... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! yogiboy,Unfortunately this is the last day I have to evaluate the subs before the return policy expires. So that's why I've been frantic to try and diagnose these problems. JL Audio won't be open today. | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! I only have one more day with these things so I have to figure this out fast.The subs worked when I took a line off the speaker terminals to the high level speaker input of the subs.But in the following set up, I'm still not getting sound: Speake... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! yogiboy,The ICs are new, just arrived. I doubt both new cables would just happen to be broken.jzzmusician, I triple checked they were in the right input.adsell, no slave mode on these subs. Crossover set around 30 Hz.No mention of reference or v... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! I have swapped the outputs and verifed both sets of main outputs on the CJ preamp are working. I also tried L signal from one set of outputs and R signal from the other, to verify the amp sends a signal to both outputs at the same time.I'm theref... | |
| Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems! Yeah, I better check that my CJ is actually putting out sound from both sets of main outputs.The preamp SHOULD be putting out signal from both outputs simultaneously, shouldn't it, so both outputs can be used at the same time? (I don't see why th... |
