| Thiel Owners Tom, That would be a really cool experiment.! I'd like to read about the results. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I don’t like the bright drivers either. Since they are anodized, any color would have been possible. My choice would have been charcoal to dark bronze with bronze hardware instead of gold. Maybe next time around . . . In the c... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom! roxy54, I don't like seeing speaker drivers generally, and I would find the 2.7 drivers - white woofer and shiny aluminum mid etc - particularly distracting. In a way I don't want to try them without the grills because I might he... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I think I may have asked before in this years long thread but... Are Thiel speakers generally designed to be listened with the grills on? I seem to remember the answer is "yes" and if so that would make sense, given the way Thiel ... | |
| Thiel Owners Fantastic, so interesting. Thank you Tom! I'd never even thought to google Thiel 01. Just did, looks like a cool speaker with, of course, nice cabinet work. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Tom, I’m sure you’ve detailed this before in the thread but could you remind me: Where does the old Thiel 02 sit in terms of Thiel speaker history? Presumably there was an 01. What type of speaker was that, did it have much distributi... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I had two JL Audio 110E subs, the JL Audio CR-1 crossover, and a DSpeaker room correction (which I used on the subs). To answer the question: 1. Easy. 2. Hard. 3. Impossible. First, it was hard in the sense of trying to find a place to put... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks for the link ghasley. First positive review. I admit though, I find it tough to sit through Steve's video reviews. I find it a lot of verbiage to get through (often unrelated to the speakers) to get the bits of information I'm looking... | |
| Spendor D9.2 Run In I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the Spendors! I haven't heard the D9.2s, so I don't know how they compare to the original D7s. | |
| Spendor D9.2 Run In But it’s the pitch, and at higher volumes especially, brashness or tinnyness, that is a bit unnerving. That sure sounds like what I heard when I auditioned Spendor D7s (which were broken in). They were just about the only speaker I had to k... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf Granted: all causal relationships "presuppose" a connection between cause and effect, Yes, which is why, wary of going down the nature-of-causation rabbit hole, I couched my reply as a simple appeal to consistency: Insofar as we norma... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole mahgister Not that I want to get in to the whole free will debate here, but the fellow in that video pretty much ignored addressing the incompatibilist/hard determinist arguments against free will. He sort of mentioned determinism, but didn’t ... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf Thanks for the reply. Of course, this presupposes that the subjective correlate ("warmer" male voice, or whatever) is causally connected to that measured phenomenon. I'd disagree that it "presupposes" such a thing - it is justified ... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole deludedaudiophile Exactly! Very important point. Analogy: Just because we’ve yet to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, nor deduced the exact character of Dark Matter, doesn’t give me an excuse to drop a bowling ball on your bar... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf I’m glad you found my indulgent speaker thread entertaining. As to your status as an audiophile, hey, it’s a big tent in my view :-) Nice to see a philosophy prof here. I’m not a prof, just a layman with a long interest in philosophy/sc... |
