| Thiel Owners Now that I currently own 3 sets of Thiel speakers - 02s, 2.7s and 3.7s, it's occurred to me: I guess I like Thiel speakers :-)The 2.7s continue to amaze me in how much punch and life-like energy they bring to the party. | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K soundsrealaudio,It appears to me you have accumulated a fair amount of audio myths in your criteria. | |
| The best tweeter design steakster,re amps and MBL 121s.I'd had concerns that I would have to use more powerful amps than my Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube amps (140W side). But before I bought the MBL 121s I read that reviewer Peter Breuninger had used the tiny 14W cla... | |
| The best tweeter design Well, just my opinion of course but...The best tweeter/high end I’ve ever heard is still the MBL radialstrahleromni design.I still distinctly remember first encountering them at CES in 2000, wandering the grounds I suddenly heard for the first tim... | |
| Thiel speaker model range I can only say that the CS6 displayed in my room the same characteristics I heard in other rooms, though I had a long time to play with many positions of the speaker in the room, and listening heights, etc, and hence I think I got as good a pictur... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? This is quite interesting seeing how various people progressed from one speaker to another. So many questions arise "why did you ditch that speaker for the next one?"It also tends to underline the cliche that we audiophiles can never be happy wit... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Wow, bsimpson's list actually makes me feel sane ;-)My audiophile genes were formed listening to my Dad's Kef 105 speakers with a Carver Sonic Holography amp, in the 80's.Mine, since mid 90's (and I'm going to include speakers that, even if I didn... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo I (or Virgo II): still considered a very good or great speaker? FWIW....I've had 3 different AP speakers in my house - the original Virgo 2s (I believe the model reviewed by Michael Fremer), after that the Audio Physic Libra, and a few years ago the Audio Physic Scorpios. I have always loved AP speakers and s... | |
| Speakers for Room Size I can't tell you if those specific speakers will work in your room.However, I will point out: I think there is a fairly common "myth" among audiophiles that big speakers -by that I mean ones full range or close to it - won't work in smaller roo... | |
| $10K-15K short list? soix,Another JA Perspectives fan, I see.I auditioned the Perspectives and they are on my (very, very short) list of speakers I'm considering as replacement for my Thiels 3.7s. | |
| Thiel speaker model range niodari,FWIW, from my experience of having lived with the CS6s (years ago), and now the 3.7s and 2.7s...I agree the CS6 has more substantial bass than the 3.7s. It was denser, more punchy, and goes a bit lower. I remember the CS6s as giving the... | |
| Thiel Owners The easiest to drive Thiel speaker I've ever used or heard of is the older Thiel 02 speaker (which I still have). 90 db sensitivity, easy impedance load, these things live and breath almost like a high sensitivity speaker, even with lower powered... | |
| Thiel Owners I hear you corvette01.I had to sell my Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers recently, wanted local sale (I'm in Canada) and it was all the local sale people who hummed and hawed. Ended up selling them to someone in the USA.Though, literally 1/2 an hou... | |
| Thiel Owners corvette01,So if I understand correctly you got only really lowball offers? That seems weird, since as far as I can tell 3.7s have sold fairly well over the last couple of years (and now are all the more rare). I wonder if people are wary of a c... |
