| Thiel Owners @jafant: not sure I ever answered your question about changing the distance between the speakers...yes a huge difference, much better imaging, wider soundstage, more holographic, NO problem with centerfill at all, images come from mid-way between... | |
| Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3? Why don't you call Pass (talk to Kevin) and ask him whether its enough power? That's what I did when getting a recommendation of an amp for my Thiel 2.4's. I was all prepared to spend a fortune on the XA series monoblocks and they actually talke... | |
| Thiel Owners On integrating a subwoofer: my aesthetix preamp has two sets of main outs. Presently I have one set going to my Pass power amp and to my main speakers. Would it be possible to use the other set to feed a subwoofer that has an internal crossover fi... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel high ceilings at 9'5". | |
| Thiel Owners For those who are interested, I’ve attached another couple of photos of the room trying to capture this strangely shaped space on the fourth floor of a 4100 sq ft townhome. ALSO, in addition to the Thiel 2.4’s which I utilize for more serious two ... | |
| Thiel Owners @gasman117 our hearing usually gets attenuated (reduced) as we age and its the high frequencies that go first so that's unlikely to be the problem. Still, we all recordings and music differently and have different preferences...one man's clear an... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant and @tomthiel: So this morning I went to home depot and bought a little lazer measuring device and realized I got the eyeballed measurements all wrong. The distance between the speakers is 8’11". The distance from each speaker to my seatin... | |
| Thiel Owners At the risk of being led to the slaughter by the purists in the group I have to say I have been trying some digital EQ using REW to generate filters which optimize gains, q's and frequencies, using a calibrated microphone and a macbook pro. REW g... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I did try the Bryston cubed series with my 2.4's and wasn't pleased with how the played together. The build quality was superb on that amp...it really was like audio jewelry if you will. But in my room I needed to warm up the Thiels and ... | |
| Thiel Owners Just checked hifishark for the thiel integrator...boy they don't come on the market very often! | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? My guess is that there’s rarely any capital at risk with regard to getting what a dealer has IN a stock item OUT of it, so I’m not sure what the purpose of a consignment would actually be except to entice undercapitalized dealers to carry lines th... | |
| Thiel Owners Has anyone successfully integrated a subwoofer (or pair of subs) with the 2.4's (or other Thiels)? How? Electronic crossover? Which one? Which subs? | |
| Paradigm Persona series The Persona 9H demo pair is being offered at a significant discount now. I'll be going back and auditioning it again after they tweek that setup and run ARC on the low-end. I wish I could bring my electronics to the store but frankly the Pass po... | |
| Paradigm Persona series By way of an update, I had an opportunity to audition the Paradigm Persona 9H at some length at an Atlanta dealer recently. They did not sound bright to me in that audition driven by an Anthem SR series power amp and pre amp. I have to say I was i... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? +1 on the no bottom end (no matter what amplification you use). I dunno, there are numerous low frequency drivers on the top model which in the hands of a different designer would be expected to produce some relatively serious bass. Or the same de... |
