| Thiel Owners Hi all, yes the page suddenly stretched out for no reason. thought it was my computer. Paco, may i suggest something better than spikes. I have used the brass feet from Mapleshade to much better effect, and also use the GAIA speaker feet. I ... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Paco and welcome. i have owned Thiel speakers since 1985 and have had four sets of the two series ending with the 2.7's. Now have the 3.7's. However for the past 20 years or so, regardless of speaker, i have been sitting in the same spot. ... | |
| Thiel Owners I think i see a whole new business unfolding before our eyes. pretty cool. | |
| Thiel Owners now i understand. still a funny combination even for a home seller.the 2.4 is a great speak. just ask Beetle | |
| Thiel Owners Laserjock: any dealer who auditions Thiel speakers with an Onkyo receiver is either very lazy or very inept or both. that is like test driving a BMW 3 series with a set of bias ply tires. not good | |
| Thiel Owners well i thought they were fantastic and were a nice improvement over the 2.2's. the 2.7s were better still but not by as much of a margin. Certainly if you can pick up a pair of them, especially in the hot rod version SE, then i would certain... | |
| Thiel Owners thanks Unsounds for all the good info. You are a lot more technical than me as a lot of that is over my head, but I certainly appreciate your continuing contributions to this discussion. Until i got the 3.7's, i only owned four generations of... | |
| Thiel Owners SDL4: not trying to get you to spend money, but the transition from 2.2's to 2.4's was fantastic. one of the biggest jumps i have ever made in audio. I owned the 2.2's from 1991-2007 so they were my longest owned speaker and they were great. ... | |
| Thiel Owners I would like to once again weigh in on this issue as i have owned five different models of Thiel going back to the 2.0 and have used many different amps including modified Haflers (way back), Audio Research, Rowlands, Quads, Marantz Reference,... | |
| Thiel Owners Greetings: I copied Paul McGowan on some of the concerns about matching Thiel speakers with the BHK 250 amp. here is his response: "What is it they think disqualifies the BHK? You might mention that Tom Thiel has asked for a BHK 250 for his cont... | |
| Thiel Owners "Not to pick on any specific brands, but the some of the often recommended amps from companies such as Ayre, Bryston, Pass, PS Audio, etc. might work wonderfully with some Thiel’s, but are not designed or spec’d by those very manufactures, (in... | |
| Thiel Owners after 35 years of having Thiel, I agree with Tom that the best sound is pretty much straight ahead, or maybe a tiny bit of toe in. i have my 3.7's set up with a distance of 9' between the coaxes and 8' from my ears to the coaxes. i got a l... | |
| Thiel Owners for those interested the inside dimensions of the SA stands are 11.5" by 11.5" and they have three adjustable spikes underneath | |
| Thiel Owners as i mentioned above i have a set of the Sound Anchors for earlier Thiel 2 series. i had to use them because the speakers did allow me to level them or adjust the spikes up and down. with the 2.4's they were not needed. however i never had an ... | |
| Thiel Owners I have a set of Sound Anchors that i have not used for years once i got the 2.4 series in 2007. however they will work with most of the earlier 2 series such as 2.0 and 2.2. might work with 2.3 but i never had those so not positive. anyone in... |
