| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers imhififan,Horrendous.A lot of these speakers are like a basement-dwelling engineer's attempt at making something that looks cool, but without any actual aesthetic or industrial design experience. They just end up looking ugos! | |
| How to transport used MBL 101 speakers w/o crate? I would have an opinion, but I'm so blind with jealousy that I can barely write ;-)Where they the ones on Audiogon?FWIW...I have a pair of MBL 121 monitors. The reason I could afford them is that a dealer sold them to me really cheap. He'd shipp... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespinIt's sales like the one you got that will drive down the price of my 3.7s if I have to sell them!! ;-)Lucky guy.Sounds like you are well set up for the 3.7s. I'll be really curious what you think. I'm driving mine with 140W of conrad jo... | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? Interesting thread bump. And quite an education in how differently people can see things.d_edwards for instance saying the CS6 was a step backwards and the worst speaker Thiel ever made was bizarre. I'd compared it to the various Thiels up to th... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I had to get rid of one of the most beautiful speakers I’ve ever had in my room - a pair of Audio Physic Scorpios in perfect room-matching ebony.I bought them because I’ve always loved audio physic speakers, the reviews were excellent, and they we... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily.Wow, you got rid of the Revel Ultima Salon2s? Those are among the most universally lauded flagship speakers! And you probably know they were designed via the blind-testing facilities at Harmon. There's a big thread on them, along w... | |
| Thiel Owners I've had pretty much all my speakers shipped, usually from the USA to Canada. So far no problems, but I have to say if anything is going to cure me of my speaker obsession it's shipping and receiving - I think I'm done shipping big speakers! Wha... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily.Man that's ruff! I can't believe they sold for that (admittedly, the lowest Tier finish but still...) I absolutely hate missing out on gear like that, which is why I often take a hit in paying more than others will if I really want ... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers Sound good, price is right. Who cares what they look like.Well, some people have taste. ;-) | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I'm very into the aesthetics of a speaker. There's nothing more droolworthy, gear-wise, than a beautiful speaker to me. Of course if I don't love the sound, the looks are meaningless in terms of my buying a speaker. I especially love the mating... | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? stringreen,I'd surmise that would be true of the current Thiel owners, but Rob certainly has cared about us Thiel owners. In August he was letting me know he had spare parts for the legacy speakers. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Thanks very much for Rob's info, tmsrdg!I haven't been able to get in touch with him recently via email, so it's good to have a phone number. I really have to figure out which Thiels I'm keeping so I know what spare drivers to order! | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? unsound,For those of us unfamiliar: Could you explain Bill's relationship to Thiel?Did he work for Thiel and might he have spare parts? I don't see Thiel listed under the brands he services. Thanks. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I'm sure it depends on which MBLs. I have the 121 monitors and have found them very easy to place in my room (13' x 15') for great sound. But then, I have a good sounding room. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? peter s,I'm sure it depends on which MBL speakers you are talking about - though all are very low sensitivity I *think* they tend to not have crazy impedance. Given my experience using Conrad Johnson amps on my MBLs I'd guess that VAC amps, espec... |
