| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Another small update:I've moved the Thiel 3.7s even closer, now approximately 7 feet away, and spacing them out further. It's closer to ah Audio-Physic-type set up, which I've often favored. This makes for a larger soundstage, greater instrument "... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? When people wonder "Why don't more people love (high end) audio?" threads like these are exhibit A. Audiophiles don't get a nutty reputation out of nowhere. ;-) | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Jafant,One thing: "Your over-view was excellent. Very precise in terms of the things you are hearing. You will most certainly get "texture" otherwise called "timbre".Actually, in my view at least those are two different qualities. For me timbral q... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Thanks for reading Jafant.I've always liked some of the qualities of high sensitive speaker designs, like Lowther-based speakers. They have that sense of dynamic projection and aliveness that gives things like percussion instruments, piano playing... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older UPDATE:I received my pair of Thiel 3.7s last weekend. I'm going to give my initial impressions.First, to re-cap, my situation posed (at least purportedly) challenges to a speaker like the 3.7. I have a smallish 15' by 13' room. I'm using low power... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older BTW, I was perusing the web concerning Thiels and saw several old announcements concerning a sort of experiment, where writers at Rolling Stone were given a really high end set up to listen to, including the Thiel 3.7s. It's a shame there seems to... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Thanks folks.They are second hand, about 4 years old. You can't get new anymore. It is nice that they will be broken in (but hopefully not broken in transport!). | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Update: I purchased a pair of 3.7s! I should have themby next weekend. I'm excited and a bit nervous, because it's a real "buy and try" situation, and I have some challenges with my room and amplification. Hopefully things work out. I swear I was ... | |
| Dalis or Thiels Dali speakers are one of those brands that I hear and always think how nice they sound...those clean, clear, effortless upper mids and top end. And at the same time I always think "Why don't I love these more?" I'm pretty sure it has to do with th... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Oregonpapa,That's fascinating about the homes without books and music.Recently on another AVforum someone mentioned that they didn't really listen to music. I queried, perplexed by this, and he responded that he appreciated what music added to mov... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Already tons of good points made in this thread, obviously.I have recently noticed the rather strange, yet somehow incredibly addicting, phenomenon of High End Audio being "displayed and demoed" on youtube. That is, both owners of stereo systems "... | |
| Small room; Audio Physic Scorpio or WB Trinity?? The scorpios might still work. I had them in a 13 x 15 room and had no problems. They sounded great. | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Jafant,Thanks for your interest :-)I'm still tortured about which move to make. I would have snapped up the 3.7s immediately, but as I mentioned earlier they are in a light cherry finish that wouldn't match our decor. I generally love the look of ... | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? I love a good wood finish on a speaker, especially some of the more exotic ones. Though I"m not a fan of the exotic finishes that seem to traverse into "gaudy" - a personal call of course.One of my favourite finishes is the ebony wood used on the ... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? At one point I was pretty familiar with just about every well known speaker in the market, but not now. Home Theater diverted my energies for quite a while. So I can't help you much.I'm trying to get hold of some Thiel 3.7 speakers, and from what ... |
