| THIS GUY TAKES VINYL TO ANOTHER LEVEL! Ha, had no idea Fremer battled with Arthur.Having known Arthur, yeah...that's about as predictable as you get.Two of the most opinionated guys on the planet.Where are these battles? Anywhere on-line? What was the gist? | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? LOLPredictably, the recommendations are all over the map. Totally disparate types of speakers.The OP may as well have asked "recommend to me what speaker to buy.";-) | |
| Thiel Owners If you can set the 3.7s up well to show their best, they are special.Still probably the best overall speakers I’ve ever owned (and heard). | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks for the input bjesien!Sounds promising.Agree the O/93s are a wonderful speaker. Unique sounding (except for the bigger version of course). | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks goldprintaudio! | |
| Thiel Owners jafantThe Premier 12s don’t have easily user accessible 2,4,8 Ohm taps, but they are available in the design so a local dealer can apparently switch them to whatever tap you want.They come configured for 4 Ohm taps, which makes sense because, per ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @goldprintaudioInteresting about getting a closer listening distance out of the Devores.I really tried several times both with the 96 and 93s during auditions, altering listening position, changing position/toe in of speakers etc, and every time I... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I wouldn’t touch the Revel with a ten foot pole, if for no other reason than at only 88dB sensitivity you’ll never find an amp to drive them. LOL.Yes, all those poor Revel owners have been unable to find amps to drive them. This is why you have ... | |
| Thiel Owners I use the CJ Premier 12 monoblocks (140W/side).Tube richness but with power, grip, control and nothing "slow" about the sound.Michael Fremer truly nailed the sound in this review:https://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/653/index.html | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @goldprintaudioThanks!Geeze, you get to regularly hear among my top 2 speaker brands. Lucky you!I still haven’t let go of the idea of owning the Devore O/96s. One reason I didn’t get them was I feel they need at least an 8 foot listening distance ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @keithrI haven't heard Fyne yet. Would like to. Beautiful speakers! | |
| Thiel Owners @jon_5912I don't know that the CJ is rolling off the treble. At least, it doesn't sound like it - it doesn't sound darker, in fact a bit more lower treble illumination. In comparison the Bryston actually sounds a bit darker.And of course the di... | |
| Thiel Owners I tried throwing the Bryston 4B3 amp in to the system again today, doing some back and forth between it powering the Thiels and my CJ tube amp. I keep thinking "I’ll put it in and just live with it for a while."But when I put on familiar tracks - ... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielAnother great read, thanks!Though you can count me as one who has always loved the bass response of the Thiels with the passive radiators! | |
| Thiel Owners Nice to see that CS 3.7 manufacturing video again. Been a while since I'd watched it.BTW, I finally got around to trying my borrowed Bryston 4B3 amp on my Thiel 2.7s. Have only gone through a few tracks back and forth with my CJ amps. Short ve... |
