| 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... | |
| Thiel Owners Still loving both speakers. I have the 3.7s running again and after two years they still blow my mind. I also crank them quite loud when I'm listening outside the room (they are down just a short bit of hallway from my computer chair). They... | |
| Thiel Owners I've never blown a driver in any speaker I've owned in my whole life (and that's a lot of them). Some people either have bad luck, or like their music super loud I guess. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Rob Gillum has been very helpful to me since I bought my 3.7s a couple years ago. He was in touch as recently as last month to say he had parts for the 3.7s. Though I have not been in touch with him since. | |
| Thiel Owners Oh man, that interview with the new CEO!She kept talking about how the company had to remember they are a "speaker company" and that was their identity. Said it numerous times.But when it comes to speakers what does she say? Aside from a pair of... | |
| Thiel Owners The first post-Jim Thiels actually got some good reviews. I really think they may have done better under a new company name. I think putting them under "Thiel’ actually hurt them, because the whole reason Thiel’s name meant anything had to do with... | |
| Thiel Owners Anyone visit the current Thiel website lately?Boy it's depressing. It looks like a company that is almost gone, like a generic web site selling over the net lifestyle products:https://www.thielaudio.com/I went through it wondering "where are the ... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? The OP has posted only 5 times in the last 7 years, started 4 threads with a perfect record of asking a question and then disappearing.Wish I checked before bothering to answer. Boo! | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers soundsrealaudio,That is perfectly understandable. A dealer or speaker manufacturer at a show is there to show the product in the best light possible. It's a show to benefit the manufacturer/dealer, not set up for attendees to do their shopping.O... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? LOL, I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about until I finally saw the word "car" at the end. I'm not a car guy. But whatever that meant, you have my sympathies :-) | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? dlcockrum,Talking about "stupid money.."I once had a chance to bid for a once-in-a-lifetime priced MBL 101Ds (I think on audiogon). I was in a bidding war and put in my last bid, way leaping over the other guy, in the last 10 seconds or so. A so... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I’ve been a huge fan of MBL since the late 90’s, when I heard the first truly realistic rendering of drums and especially drum cymbals, at a CES show. It blew my mind how much more natural and realistic the MBLs sounded vs everything else at the s... | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg,I hear you. My listening room is a main floor room which I try to maintain as the nicest looking room in the house (first room you see when you step in our door). Aesthetics are a high priority so I always insist when I can on waiting on ... | |
| Thiel Owners FYI...there's a pair of 3.7s now listed on Audiogon. |
