| Thiel Owners Oh, I should mention you don't see the projector because it's actually hidden down behind the listening sofa. It's on a telescoping automated lift, so when you turn the home theater "on" the projector lifts up to over 6' high to project the image. | |
| Thiel Owners Just inside the room. You can see some of the drop down brown velvet ceiling. (It also helps stop sound getting up to our bedroom right above, helpful when I want to listen to music when my wife has gone to bed earlier): | |
| Thiel Owners Now that it's easier to post photos here... Here are some photos of my Thiel 2.7 speakers set up in my listening/AV room. The room used to be a single use 2 channel listening room. However in 2009 I got bit by the Home Theater bug and renova... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @arafiq Amazing. Those Perspectives look so gorgeous. I was blown away when I got mine and they are still among the best looking speakers I've ever had (or seen IMO). I hope you'll give your impressions first without the subs! :-) Here's... | |
| Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush? Well, even though I could swear the tone changed a bit, things still sound fantastic so I'll have to go with "it was my imagination." | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the update Tom. I'm sure looking forward to the finished product! | |
| Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush? Thanks larryi, I do indeed always keep my turntable arm unlocked for those reasons. mulveling That's what I figured. As to the cleaning lady.... When I made my big turntable upgrade it was from my old micro seiki (donated by my father in law) ... | |
| Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush? Thanks folks. I'm not an expert on the turntable stuff so still learning. My concern arose from thinking about just how minute an adjustment it can take to alter the sound with a stylus. For instance I use the arduous mint protractor when I hav... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel What's the state of your Thiel 02 development? Could you remind me what you've done to the little critters? Too bad this forum is so 1998 in tech terms; I'd love to see a photo of your 02s posted here. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ vdotman, What was the problem with the Perspective2s in your room? Bass bloat? I have the original Perspectives in a 13’ x 15’ room (with a large opening to a hallway). Mine are pulled out about 4 feet from the back wall. I get nice even sound w... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ awesome arafiq ! I can't wait to hear whether I'm full of sh*t or not! :-) | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ agbrace, I do think the Perspectives are somewhat richer sounding, especially from the lower midrange down. I use them with some classic Conrad Johnson tube amps, which helps flesh out the sound. | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ voodoochillin, My experience with the JA speakers and lower powered amps is limited. In the store they sounded stellar with both SimAudio and Mcintosh tubes amps. I can’t remember if it was the Mcintosh 75W or 150W tube amps. Though I think I ... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @arafiq Regarding the Harbeth vocal magic... You may find you actually prefer the Joseph speakers, even in that regard. It was actually hearing vocals on some Joseph speakers that got me interested! I’m always comparing the sound of real v... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ whipsaw, I received your bat signal! @arafiq I had the Harbeth SuperHL5plus for a while. I sold them and eventually bought Joseph Audio Perspectives (original). I plan to upgrade them to graphene at some point. I've been asked before to ... |
