| Thiel Owners Tom, aren't the smartsubs a class D switching amplifier? I was always curious about the power output at lower impedance. | |
| Thiel Owners I also would love to see upgrade for 2.7. I'll wait patiently... I must say nay on the outboards though. | |
| Thiel Owners I must say, thanks to tomthiel! This post has become very interesting even though I don't have the 2.4. I will be interested if this expands into other models. I do have 2 2 and 2.7. Both excellent speakers and very different from each other. Can'... | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? Do you mean a sealed box, equalized within a transmission line? I guess that would make sense?This would be only for the very, very low frequencies I assume.I have always liked transmission line bass. Very relaxed and effortless. | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? Tom,I got lost with sealed box and transmission line. How do you have both? Aren't all transmission lines open box? | |
| Thiel Owners Is this a joke, question or a statement?Nothing on the web about it. | |
| Thiel Owners ranchhand1Always good to see someone from the earlier years. Need more of us!So, pretty good investment after all the enjoyment of 30+ years... | |
| Thiel Owners Just saying Jim's designs, in the bass region, did not roll off at 6 db/octave due to being a passive radiator design. | |
| Thiel Owners One thing to remember about subs and integration... The natural roll-off of ported speakers is 24 db/octave and sealed speakers is 6 db/octave. | |
| Thiel Owners "I too have been at this for a few decades"How old is everyone? There is a lot of experience here...I am 58. | |
| Thiel Owners unsound,Excellent synopsis! I did not realize the class A bias would halve with impedance drop! We might want to think about amplifier distortion doubling as impedance halves also.David - Dave Matthews - nearly anythingBeach boys - Pet SoundsCake ... | |
| Thiel Owners Nice 2.4's on eBay....!https://www.ebay.com/itm/Thiel-CS2-4-Speaker-Pair-in-near-mint-condition/253287294724?hash=item3af91... | |
| Thiel Owners prof,I must say I completely agree with you on cabling vs. room treatment and placement. There is so much to be had simply by moving furniture or changing angle/placement of speakers. You can dial in exactly what you want from your system... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob,No pop here with the 2.7 - sounds more like an amp issue. My cj amp had a similar issue on powering down no matter the speaker and investigation showed a lot of users with similar issue. Didn't harm anything, but annoying.I drove six hours as ... | |
| Thiel Owners profWhatever your decision, I hope you give everyone here a "Heads up" when you sell one pair or the other! Keep them in the family as it were.... |
