| Thiel Owners want to have some fun and give your system a real workout. try this one. i have used it for years to test speakers for a number of variables. https://www.amazon.com/One-Second-Yello/dp/B000AC5LD4/ref=sr_1_9?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=15280... | |
| Thiel Owners to reiterate the point that Prof made, i recently listened to a pair of 29K Magicos driven by very nice VTL tube amps. was it great? absolutely. was it better? yes as it was more articulate and had a overall cleaner sound. however, when i c... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Jafant, thanks so much. I am selling the 2.7's here and on audiomart just in case someone does not know that but wants a beautiful pair of them. The electronics are all upper end PS Audio which i swear by. the rack is a beautiful piece i ... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Prof, thank you so much. great reading. i think the better our systems get, the more tiny changes are audible. why swap power cords if your speakers are Bose or something like that. i use a Lafuma reclining chair as it is not thick and do... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Prof, how far apart do you have the speakers? also i really find that the distance from my ears to the floor, though subtle, affects the SQ | |
| Thiel Owners there are some great tips on the Mapleshade web site. Pierre thinks we sit too far away and too high and i have been using his suggestions for years with all my various Thiel speakers. I have the speakers 114" apart (tweeter to tweeer), 90"... | |
| Thiel Owners not sure exactly but i think i set mine around 45-50 | |
| Thiel Owners hi Arnie, the person you got them from had the same problem i had with mine when i first got them. i thought, my goodness these are not near as good as my 2.7's. they were just as he described and i was not sure i would keep them. now afte... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Arnie, i suspect i need to bring my settings down but i would encourage you to raise yours. i had some correspondence with John Hunter of REL and he gave me a rough idea of what he thought i should set the crossover at. read below starting ... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Batman, good to hear from you. glad my response got you into this group. i have learned so much from reading all this and it is great to discuss our wonderful speakers with fellow Thiel lovers. I use the BHK electronics from PS Audio a... | |
| Thiel Owners hi arniespin, i have the SHO s/5 and it is a killer sub. the REL guy was here last week for a demo and said it was the sweet spot of their audio oriented subs. i will check my settings later but have them much higher than you do. | |
| Thiel Owners I have a friend/dealer (the only one in NC that sells Magico) and heard the A3 speakers recently. I think they retail for about 10K and not $223 but glad the 3.7's can hold their own. Recently heard some bigger ones (about $28K) and they were ve... | |
| Thiel Owners @wayneuncle i am no expert on subs but have had really good results with the REL s/5 SHO. if you get a sub, try to get the dealer to come and set it up | |
| Thiel Owners @prof i would really be interested in some recommendations for electronic music. do not have much but my favorite album is underwater sunlight by Tangerine Dream. thanks in advance | |
| Thiel Owners well us A'gon guys will be most interested in how your speakers evolve and i appreciate what you are doing. i had 2.4's before getting the 2.7's and the 2.7's were better for sure. but with the mods to your speakers, i bet you have closed the ... |
