Joseph Audio Pulsar2 vs dynaudio confidence 20 vs tad-me1
In the past.  Like over a year and a half ago. I've arrived from the future to LOL at that comment!

@ydjames    Thanks. The "new" version or Rob's version uses a black-coloured basket instead of a silver-coloured one. I'm trying to figure out which part would look black.  Do you mean the ring on the outside of the driver that holds it on t...

baaach, I'd say they get equal time, tipping toward the Josephs. However I've actually had the Thiels in the system for a long time now.  The reason is that over the past 6 months or so I'd been doing tons of comparisons of amplifiers in my syst...

  @ydjames  Finally, with a help of a very good and close friend (who is the previous owner of the Thiel CS 2.7), we managed to replace the previous pair of coaxial drivers with the newer pair of coaxial drivers from Rob, Coherent Source. I'm...

baaach,   I love the Thiels.  As I wrote quite clearly I'm not getting rid of them. But I've always enjoyed owning more than one speaker brand because I like the sound of different speakers.   I'm not sure you noticed I actually ended up purchas...

  Thanks ghasley.   Sounds promising. Oh, and I forgot to mention:  what a listening room! It looks like you could place practically any speaker in there and it should sound good.

  ghasley, I'm always interested in the listening distance too :-)   Still wondering if the O/baby holds up at closer to 8' listening distances (unlike the other O speakers).

Thanks for the update ghasley! I have to hear these o/babys some day!

    Tone of music -> you come to audition you buy. If not, don't waste my time. If that's from a dealer that's a truly sh*tty attitude and I'd avoid. The point of auditioning is to DECIDE if you think it's worth buying.  You don't...

  Tom, That would be a really cool experiment.!  I'd like to read about the results.

@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...

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...

@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 ...

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.
