| Thiel Owners Unsound,I have had audionervousa for some time now; don't worry you're not the cause. Cheers,Rick | |
| Thiel Owners I have been reading the strong opinions about the 3.5 equalizer that I eliminated from my system by using a subwoofer so I tried it back in my system again. I get the same result as before. The midrange is a bit more veiled and the instruments, ... | |
| Thiel Owners Flatter is better. I did some careful listening to mens and women's voices comparing the boosted bass mentioned in a previous post (which sounds closer to the bass with the CS3.5 equalizer ) versus the bass adjusted to have a flat response and gu... | |
| Thiel Owners I scored a replacement midrange driver for my 3.5s by placing a WTB ad on Audiogon. I soldered it in and voila! no perceivable change even though the mid driver I replaced had three holes on the surround. Since I thought the speakers sounded fin... | |
| Thiel 3.5 equalizer advice Check out my posts in the last few pages of the Thiel Owners thread. Others have also weighed in on the equalizer on that thread. | |
| Thiel Owners I feel the need to make some comments on the CS-3.5 equalizer. Mine broke a few years ago. When I sent it to Thiel they said the repair part was no longer available so they sent me a used unit and charged me about $70. That was big of them to d... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound,Why do you think the equalizer is so important? In my room the speakers without the eq. or the sub measured a valley at 60Hz and a peak at 40Hz. I needed the high pass filter from the sub to flatten the response curve. What you suggest ... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob from Thiel got back to me with a quote of $300. I have a lead on a NOS driver for the 3.5 for $225 which seemed high at first but now seems like a good deal if it is genuine.In anticipation of replacing the Thiels I auditioned some Sinus Fabe... | |
| Thiel Owners I am thinking of replacing my 3.5's with 2.4's or 2.7's. Will they be as smooth as the 3.5's on soprano voices and masses strings? | |
| Thiel Owners I haven't received an estimate yet, but if it is $400, I would say it's a reasonable cost for the work, but it's a cost I won't be willing to pay for speakers that won't be worth more than $500 after the repair. If I part them out I would imagine... | |
| Thiel Owners Well, I'm waiting to hear from Thiel if they have either a replacement driver or if they can repair the driver. I found someone who has a new Thiel driver for $225 but even this seems a bit much for a speaker that only commands a $500 resale val... | |
| Thiel Owners I have an old pair of CS-3.5's that I bought used about 4 years ago. I decided to check out the drivers the other day and took off the grilles. When I bought the speakers the drivers looked perfect. Now the center domes of both mid ranges and o... | |
| Looking for a Network Music Player I have experience with two network music players:WDTV Live and Marantz 6005. The WD product is very inexpensive and effective. Mine is an older model no longer in production. The newer models will stream several internet sources but will no lon... |
