| Thiel Owners I've tried searching before for any mention of what happened with the Thiel/Rolling Stone scenario, but never found any info. | |
| Thiel Owners What a bummer that we never heard any more about this experiment featuring Thiel speakers and writers at Rolling Stone:https://www.cnet.com/news/rolling-stone-magazine-discovers-high-end-audio/tomthiel, did you ever hear about the results of that ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 The new Joseph Graphene speakers sure have received a lot of great reports, especially the perspectives. They seem to be featuring in many people’s Best Of Show for Axpona and Munich.Jonathan Valin included them as BIS for Munich, Myles Astor as w... | |
| Thiel Owners In case anyone with a Thiel smartsub wants spare drivers, they are being auctioned off in the current Thiel liquidation:https://www.mclemoreauction.com/auction/complete-liquidation-of-thiel-audio-products-co-llc-includin... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts That's great to hear Todd.I found the Harbeths actually did some metal and classic rock in a more satisfyingly rich manner than many other popular speakers. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielIf you want a nice summary of the latest research, here’s an excellent thread on the AVSforum featuring Kevin Voecks of Harman, which as you may know employ and expanded upon original research from Floyd Toole and others. Lots of input fr... | |
| Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time Sad.But boy some people are going to get some killer liquidation sale prices on what were apparently excellent speakers with great engineering.Check out the Stereophile measurements of the T1 towers! | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielFascinating, thanks again.I’ve been listening to my little Spendor S 3/5 monitors in my system, for the past couple of weeks. Like the Thiel 02s these have, for me, some "magic tone" that makes me want to just keep listening.I was listenin... | |
| Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)? FWIW, I auditioned the Proac - D20R with high hopes as I loved their look and aesthetically pleasing size.Unfortunately I found the same problem I find with most dynamic speakers using a ribbon tweeter: It just didn't gel with the rest of the sou... | |
| Black Ash..... rocrayHa! It's like the audiophile equivalent of "The Trolley Problem"!Either not buy them or buy them and have them re-finished. | |
| Music lover or audiophile? rvpianoI have to admit that I still listen for the sound at least as much as the music. While I do understand the gist of what you are getting at there, I think it bares reflection that listening to music is to also love the sound. The musicians p... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? @briangingrichThere’s nothing wrong with Floyd or Tchaikovsky - I’m just surpised there’s not a wider range of musical taste among in the high-end community. My own observations are completely at odds with yours.I’ve found over the years that audi... | |
| From tubes back to SS? I've had brief flings with SS but always settle on tubes. In fact at one point, though my Conrad Johnson amps have been generally very reliable, they blew a fuse or something. I got lazy about having them fixed and threw in a Harman Kardon solid... | |
