| Thiel Owners To re-iterate a tiny bit of anecdotal amp data on Thiels.I’m still having fun going back and forth between a loaned Bryston 4B3 and my CJ monoblock tube amps (140W side) on my Thiel 2.7s.Anyone who thinks Thiels need gobs of SS power should hear t... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? @samzx12Yeah, we get used to our speakers and want that extra hit of something new. That's why I also picked up some Joseph Audio Perspective speakers a while back :-)I like to switch between those and the Thiels.I find the Thiels amazingly even... | |
| HOW MUCH DO NON-AUDIO FACTORS INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIO PURCHASES? Aesthetics is huge for me. Especially for speakers since they are in effect a new piece of furniture introduced in to my living/listening room.I absolutely love a high quality speaker finish, especially wood (love my Thiel 2.7 and my Joseph Audio... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Well, it's all subjective but...I have the Thiel 2.7s and love them (Also owned the bigger 3.7s).I actually find my 2.7s to sound rather rich and even "warm" (I'm partial to rich sound - I also own Spendors for instance). Though I'm driving them ... | |
| Thiel Owners tom,That's wild all the tweaks you are trying out!It's hard to know whether, even if "improved" by technical or modern standards, whether I'd still prefer the 02s with all those changes.Would love to hear some of them, though! | |
| Thiel Owners profWhich Silver cables/cords do you endorse?Happy Listening!I don't endorse any. In most realistic use cases there would be no need to pay extra money for silver cables. Silver is a teeny bit more conductive than copper, but even that can be m... | |
| Thiel Owners I've been shedding my speakers.I finally let my MBL 121 omnis go, and now tonight just sold my Waveform Mach MC speakers. Both killer speakers!But I'm simply never going to let the Thiel 02s go. No way. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielThat's so great to hear about the 02s!Honestly, I'm afraid to touch mine for fear of changing the sound I love.But of course I've wondered what an upgraded pair of 02s could sound like.If you end up having some upgraded 02s for sale at so... | |
| Thiel Owners Too clinical, dry and thin to my ears. Silver cables will present this way on Thiel loudspeakers, especially, the newer models. Sigh.It's worth pointing out occasionally that there is no actual basis for such a claim, beyond imagination.Audiophile... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) Duke,Your recommendation seems to make sense with my experience. I've found my speakers can sound a bit better when off-set a bit, so one being a bit closer to the listening sofa, and my slightly adjusting toward the further one, where I sit to m... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) Jeff Joseph has been using that set up for many years at shows. He was well known to have achieved great sound in many challenging show conditions and it seems to me more manufacturers caught on and you started seeing that off-centre set up more ... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Good to see Fremer finally got around to reviewing the Degritter.He gave it a big thumbs up. | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 There's simply no way a traditional 2-way mini-monitor is worth $9k."Worth" is of course subjective.If I wanted a premium DIY build I could get that for a quarter of that price.Of course, that goes without saying. It has always been the case that... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I'd been waiting forever for one of the top audio mags to finally review The Pearls, just out of curiosity. They were finally reviewed recently in The Absolute Sound. (Unfortunately I found the review to be fairly lame and not very well written). | |
| THIS GUY TAKES VINYL TO ANOTHER LEVEL! Thanks.Actually, now that's actually looking familiar. |
