| Thiel Owners nkonor,Yeah, my wife...and especially one of my audio buddies...mock me if I suggest I will end up with "the speaker." If I haven’t by now, I probably never will. I always start pairing down my speaker collection, but then build back up again. Esp... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...while I appreciate your enthusiastic input in to this thread, I do find it frustrating that you keep saying things like this, especially to me:-------------"a room size of 20x20, minimum, is the starting point for owning the CS 3.7 speake... | |
| Thiel Owners I will certainly report my impressions here. It would be cool if the 2.7s work out for me.After a lengthy auditioning process of numerous smaller speakers, the one left that I'm still considering are the Joseph Audio Perspective speakers - far sm... | |
| Thiel Owners Did anyone here notice that nice pair of Thiel 2.7s in ebony on audiogon a few days ago?I bought them! (Sorry to anyone who was bidding, I know it sucks to not get an item).When I first joined the forum it was right after Thiel stopped production ... | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? clearthink,What you are saying about getting mono sound from Maggies in the middle of the room isn't making sense to me. First, it doesn't seem to make theoretical sense. Second, in practice, I used to have Quad 63s (diopoles) in essentially the... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol I'm trying to get there :-)I note that even Jonathan Valin mentioned the JA Profiles playing the Analogue tape was the best sound of the Axpona show.I'd take a look at the Profiles, but I'm so set on great aesthetics and the cabinetry of the Persp... | |
| Can the WAF Kill an Audio System? I’ve been in the audio hobby for many decades and frankly I MUCH prefer a clean looking room. I see so many "only an audiophile could love" rooms with wires, tweaks, gear everywhere, which to me looks like the audiophile equivalent of a dorm room.... | |
| AXPONA 2017 Protocol I'm also on a possible trajectory towards a purchase of the JA Perspectives. Having heard them several times now...they are special speakers IMO. One often reads descriptors like "quiet" and "low noise floor" of the Joseph speakers and that's ex... | |
| thiel 3.7 owners I've been looking for a slightly smaller speaker to replace my Thiel 3.7s (due only to ergonomic issues of a small room).I have auditioned quite a list of speakers and I can't find better. The 3.7s are just ridiculously good. I was going to say ... | |
| Thiel Owners Ok jafant, understood. | |
| Thiel Owners I get that this is a Thiel thread, but since amplification and cables are being made part of the discussion...If you ever wonder why our hobby isn’t taken seriously by the majority of sensible people on earth, watching an audiophile recommend that... | |
| Thiel Owners It was sad when Kathy left Thiel. She was the best.Wow. I've never blown a driver in any speaker. You must enjoy loud listening levels!!!! | |
| Thiel Owners nkonor,Cool. Again, I'm sorry if I'm asking you to repeat info that exists somewhere in these 30 pages of posts....but did you try the last models - CS 2.7 and/or CS 3.7?If so, what did you find more compelling about the older model's sound?I'm c... | |
| Thiel Owners nkonor,Thanks. I realize I should have asked: Which Thiel speakers did you own? | |
| Thiel Owners nkonor,Sorry I haven't followed your posts in this thread, but do I understand correctly from your last post: You've moved from Thiels to the Avalon speakers? Is that right?If so, how do they compare?Thanks. |
