Thiel Owners
I've been luxuriating in my new Joseph Audio Perspective speakers for a while, but tonight I'm switching in my Thiel 2.7s in to the system again.I'll be interested to see how I react to them after acclimating to the Josephs. 
There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think
yeh right. And he would be even more astonished if i replaced those small woofers with 12 inch woofers. You really don't understand what's going on (or the point) do you?It's sort of amazing.

Yep, Erik.As an owner of the Joseph Audio Perspective speakers I know what you are talking about.  Their (even smaller) dual 5.5" long-throw woofers continue to blow me away, often seeming to sound even deeper and punchier than the big Thiel 3.7s ... 
How do you audition speakers at a store?
What I do:Bring music I'm familiar with and like.I listen first however the speaker have been arranged by the store, just to get a quick read.  Then I ask for some position adjustments to be made (usually possible) of the speaker.  I play around w...

taras it might have given some insight into why so many of the movies we see sound as bad as they do.Indeed.  Perhaps a petition to the post production sound industry from audiophiles, as to how the pros ought to dress their cables, is the fix!I s...

mahgister,My remark about your mind set is not a more ad hominem act than your assimilation of subjectivist audiophiles, who report something about cables, to the flat earther, and anti-vaxing crowd ...Are you unaware of how a principle of rea...

rockriderIt is so sad that prof does not realize he sees himself as the incontrovertible authority. It's sad that when faced with an alternative opinion some people can't be bothered to give reasons it's wrong, but will post strawman claim anyway ...

mahgister,I listen to your argument, and they are not neutral, No argument is "neutral."  An argument defends a certain position.And "neutrality" is not a cognate for "reasonable."  If you take a "neutral" position between the claim of a flat or a...

mahgisterOr thinking that no sane mind can affirm this idiocy, you will arrive at the right conclusion that is mine : it is a waste of time to attack dogmas, all the times, with some people....Well, that’s confusing. Which is it? Is it a waste of ... 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
mahgister,In the chaos of cables mess in a studio, all the subtle "cues" of the changing sound are lost, and cancelled constantly one another, minutes after minutes...A tangle knot of cables moving will maintain a general figure of sound that w...

mahgisterI dont understand that people use their intelligence to defend dogmas or attack dogmas... I can understand being puzzled about defending dogmas. But...criticizing dogma is a bad thing?Whatever leads you to that conclusion?Typically a dogm...

In the workplace you describe, you’re just duplicating a product, not listening like you would at home. As long as it sounds OK and meets the standards, you can then can it and sell it.nonoise, you’ve missed the point.If moving a cable changed sou...

Moving cables and the affect it can have on your sound has been discussed for decades. Sure: Among audiophiles, who have also discussed "for decades" the "sonic effects" of a vast amount of pseudo-scientific "effects" (often barely that). There is...

This type of thread can act as a warning to any newbie thinking about going down the audiophile path. The level of audiophile nervosa that can arise in a purely subjective paradigm is really something (virtually anything you do can be perceived as... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
keithrDunno.I guess that's because my desires for a speaker tend to be limited to what I can afford.  And also I have limitations in terms of what will be acceptable in my room.  Though mega-speakers are fun, I'm not chasing perfection so they don...
