| Thiel Owners makes sense. thanks | |
| 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. | |
| Thiel Owners As someone who has owned the 2 series since 1985, lived with the 2.7's for over 3 years, and now the 3.7's for a few months, i would like to weigh in on the comparison of the two. Boy there are no losers here as both are great and i for one, c... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Frozen, thanks for caring. i have not had a hearing test in about 10 years, but the last time i was shown the results and it was good. I have some minor issue that when the volume gets too high my right ear buzzes a bit. it happens more i... | |
| Thiel Owners more comments from my friend trying the Goertz. Do you know when you hear a match up that is just right? That is what the Goertz / Thiel combo is. I am really surprised they such a good match. You need to try them. They need about 20 hours to... | |
| Thiel Owners I thought the 2.4's were fantastic. enjoy | |
| Thiel Owners hi Tom, my understanding of this is bare bones at best. i did replace a few coaxes and do not remember seeing any with a resistor on the positive terminal. could that be a reason for my proclivity to blow drivers? When i sold my 2.7's i sen... | |
| Thiel Owners thanks Tom, that is interesting if i understand correctly about the resistors. when i sent back the last damaged coax to Rob, he sent the replacement back with a resistor on the positive terminal. to the best of my recollection, none of the ... | |
| Thiel Owners thank you again TT. your input here is so appreciated as is the research you are doing. it is a puzzle to me why i have had bad luck with the coaxes in the 2.7's, and maybe it was a bad batch. i use Analysis Plus speaker cables and they are o... |
