| Thiel Owners robinarbour,Do you mean how much have I tilted them? I haven’t tilted either the 3.7 or the 2.7. Simply set them down without spikes (I’ve tried spikes before and they didn’t make anything better about the sound). So they have whatever tilt is bui... | |
| Thiel Owners Ok, so here for anyone interested is my initial first impressions report on the Thiel 2.7s:As I've mentioned, I have the Thiel 3.7s and have considered downsizing somewhat, for space/ergonomic reasons, though not for sound - because they sound min... | |
| Thiel Owners I've done some listening to my gorgeous-looking 2.7s. Wow! What a speaker!! | |
| VAC vs Conrad Johnson Amps? Just want to say:Thanks for all the input, fellas.It turns out I'll have enough on my plate (financially) in sorting out my new speakers so I'll have to put off any amp upgrade for now. (I was tempted by the VAC 300.1 for sale on audiogon).I'll s... | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer I had the Quad ESL 63s and the Gradient dipole sub made for them.To this day the best panel/dynamic speaker blend I've ever heard. Not perfect, but far closer than I've heard since. | |
| Thiel Owners I was moving my 3.7s to make room for the 2.7s I’m getting tomorrow.For the heck of it I set up my old Thiel 02s. For those who don’t know that model, it was before the time/phase coherence - just a regular box speaker, but engineered for a flatte... | |
| VAC vs Conrad Johnson Amps? fjn04Why would you go to a Vac Renaissance, after having owned the Phi 300.1?tubegroover,Thanks for the heads up! | |
| VAC vs Conrad Johnson Amps? Thank you Irsky!Anyone have any idea of the sonic differences between the Phi 300.1and the Phi 200?On one hand my rack space is low and I like the idea of downsizing from 2 monoblock amps to a single amp - though of course I don't want to lose qua... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? I haven't owned Maggies but I remember immediately being impressed by certain aspects of the sound (they generally sounded great).I'd owned Quad 63 electrostatics and while I was first in love with the transparency and boxless sound - they sounded... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple "My speaker were purchased on sound alone."I certainly get that many audiophiles have only that criteria...and the look of many audiophile rooms suggests it ;-)For me, aesthetics plays a role and adds to any experience - whether it's a beautiful o... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple My wife won't try to stop me from any particular speaker purchase based on their looks, but she does care how a speaker looks and so do I. My listening room is the front living room of the house and I had originally chosen a decor based on brown ... | |
| VAC vs Conrad Johnson Amps? mechans,I'm investigating the idea of a VAC amp, but not sure I want to make that investment yet, which is why I'm seeking the experience of others. The buy-and-try price is very hefty for us Canadians!I do prefer Thiels on tubes (having heard th... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? goeffkait,I've never used that CD. Can you explain what type of tracks it has specifically to help locate the speakers properly? | |
| Thiel Owners frozentundra,Cool. I look forward to hearing my new Thiel 2.7s next weekend.I also have some "ear issues." I played for decades in a very loud band and acquired quite a case of Tinnitus and some hyperacusis (hearing sensitivity) came along for t... | |
| Thiel Owners jeff,Sorry, no system pictures. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to that. (I think the pictures would look cool because I designed my room carefully/aesthetically for home theater and two channel, while having to be a "nice" looking room since... |
