| Thiel Owners hi BrayEagle, thank you for a wonderful post. what a great story. it is so neat that at 95 you are still enjoying audio, and no longer using a cactus needle as a stylus. what happened to your post. it has disappeared. | |
| Thiel Owners Pray tell BrayEagle, what is your secret or secrets. 95 and still enjoying audio. that is so wonderful. i think daily doses of music we love keeps us young. My mother's 95 year old boyfriend (who looks and acts about 70) would add red wine to... | |
| Thiel Owners damn. should have said quit, not quite. i need to preview my posts first. | |
| Thiel Owners those were the days before TAS and Stereophile started making headway. But by 1978 or so i quite reading SR and followed TAS and HP. I am 65, so officially old :). Julian was from the school that said if you could not measure it, it was not... | |
| Thiel Owners sheesh. should have said "who here", not who hears. i should not post this late in the day :) | |
| Thiel Owners who hears remembers Julian Hersch, aka Mr. "if it measures the same it sounds the same" from the 70's? | |

| Thiel Owners thank you TT, your continued input is so appreciated. here is a great video on burn in from Paul McGowan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJFnlDTtsBA | |
| Thiel Owners Tom Thiel: I like what Vandersteen has done with a powered subwoofer in the enclosure. I suspect that Jim may have gravitated in that direction, having spent considerable effort developing the SmartSub. PS Audio is working on some new speakers... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof: Your 3.7s had to be used, weren’t they? Hence if break in occurred, I presume it would already have happened long ago. It’s my suspicion that it was acclimation on your part, vs the speaker. I would have thought so too but i found out fro... | |
| Thiel Owners I would like to add that both speakers, for whatever reasons, need lots of break in time (400 Hours). When i compared my well played 2.7's with the new (and hardly used 3.7's I got from Rob) in the first month or so, the 2's killed it. it t... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Prof, thanks for the comment. i thought the analogy worked, and as i have gotten older, i am trading sporty handling and ride for comfort and sitting a bit higher. my measurements are 88" from the ear to the tweeter, and 102" between the ... | |
| Thiel Owners and of course i have to put a plug in for the PS Audio BHK amps as well. They were not around when Jim could have heard them, but they are a fantastic amp for the money. Plus they are still in business and have the best customer service in the ... | |
| Thiel Owners wow. very nice. i use a REL SHO 5 sub and it works great, but i do have to wonder if a Thiel sub would not match better. |
