| Anyone listen to the new audio physics Kodex speaker? I don't know if you can fix your thread title, but they are spelled "Codex."Anyway, I've been quite interested in the Codex. I've always loved audio physic speakers, have owned them before. A local place has AP speakers and I went to listen to ... | |
| Thiel Owners What Song, Album or Genre do you use to set up your speakers ?Well I truly love all types of music so I'll go through quite a variety, from electronica, disco, rock, funk, jazz, classical, folk, world...you name it. If I'm auditioning a speaker I... | |
| what speakers to buy I've been interested in hearing the Boenicke speakers given their growing rep for great sound in a small form factor. Unfortunately they have very little North American presence (non in Canada). Probably the most open and natural sounding speaker... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespin,Before I had any Meadowlark speakers in my home I was well acquainted with the popular Shearwaters. I ended up with the Blue Heron speakers for a while, and also owned the stand mounted Meadowlarks Swallow. What I loved about the Meadowl... | |
| Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ? yashu,I'm curious if you ever tried tube amplification with your Thiels. That's my preference. I could see Thiels being a bit more relentless with SS amps, especially if one's room isn't very damped. But for me in a well controlled room, with C... | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Wonderful to hear about Rob's help, Chris. Thanks! I'm glad you got your Thiels singing again. | |
| what speakers to buy dragonbutxIf you really have to buy without listening I’d be inclined to point you toward Revel speakers. The reason is that they are very well engineered, having been guided by many decades of research using true scientific studies on what type o... | |
| Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ? avanti,Given I really enjoy speakers that disappear and soundstage (though I’m first concerned with tonality), I’m experienced in getting the best soundstaging out of speakers in my room. I did indeed listen in nearfield, as that is my preferred s... | |
| Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ? soundsrealaudio,I have to disagree: nothing in audio, especially speakers, is that simple.Any end result for a speaker is about execution, and no one simple approach predicts one will be more successful than the other. I've had several speakers th... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob,Yes, about that close to either the 3.7 or 2.7. I tend to listen to one pair for a couple weeks, then swap them for the other pair.Angling varies depending on how wide I've placed them or if I desire more lively sound. I only ever use the ti... | |
| Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ? It's a thread bump, but what the heck...I always greatly enjoyed Spendors and my friend's S100s were one of my introductions to high end audio (along with his Quad ESL 63s, which I later bought).I've had a pair of the small, classic 3/5s doing dut... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers Beauty certainly is in the eye of the beholder. James mentioned someone's wife dry-heaving over the look of the MBLs.The MBLs have always been divisive: as an example of more "way out there" industrial design, I actually find them beautiful. Pro... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob,No pops either with my 2.7 or 3.7s. I have CJ amps and pre-amp.Yes I'm still going back and forth between the 3.7s and 2.7s. 3.7s for the more relaxed (and slightly more resolved, I think) sound, effortless scale and soundstaging, 2.7s for t... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespin,If only it were that easy. The whole reason I’d considered selling them is that they are large enough to present an ergonomic/aesthetic problem in my rather idiosyncratic set up where they share space with a full surround home theater sy... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I'm a sucker for a simple contemporary look with a beautiful wood finish, so here are some speakers I think look great:Tidal:https://i.pinimg.com/564x/07/ef/8c/07ef8cb965521e21e4283a62d1a7f332.jpgJoseph Audio Perspectives (I hope to buy a pair som... |
