| Thiel Owners Hi unsound,It wasn't a serious consideration because the room doubles as a home theatre too; where we often add a second row of seats. There's a structural telepost (masqueraded by a 16" wooden column) that interferes as well so it was better to ... | |
| Thiel Owners So all this talk about room size, and placement theory, had me experimenting and moving the 2.4s around again. The room has absorption panels on the side walls, corner bass traps on the front wall, and diffraction on the back wall. Room is 13'6"... | |
| Thiel Owners @dnanstad a refurbed Levinson No.23.5? | |
| Thiel Owners @prof @jafant Don't believe I'm doxing him, but Larry was Director of Sales, and Marketing at Thiel Audio ~2000. He's mentioned the positions in other threads on here.With respect to the 2.4SE numbers: according to Rob's memory they made ~200 of ... | |
| Thiel Owners @schubert Well, I guess if you consider a Jim Thiel-designed speaker to be an extremely accurate transducer of an input signal, then they should be fine with any kind of music, with consideration given to a particular model's frequency limitation.... | |
| Thiel Owners @marqmike I wouldn't worry about the serial number honestly. There are a few other distinguishing characteristics of the SE's that can be seen in the photos: the mounting hardware, the bevel behind the baffle, the veneer and finish.I am writing a... | |
| Thiel Owners Ooooh, somebody's selling a pair of SE's on here. Curious that the serial number (191/300) is higher than Thiel Audio told me the run terminated at, a few years ago. Guess you can't believe everything you're told... | |
| help thiel 2.4 placement??? Shane Buettner wrote in the Audio Perfectionist Journal:I achieved the sound I liked best with the 2.4s just under 7 feet apart (center to center), with a distance of just over 9 feet from each speaker to the listening position (an included angle ... | |
| help thiel 2.4 placement??? Hi @rcoppel My room is about 14' x 23'. In stereo mode, the speakers are about 8' apart tweeter-to-tweeter, and 4.5' off the front wall. I am sitting almost 10' tweeter-to-ear. I can confirm tonight. I'm not worried about the sides as I'm abso... | |
| Thiel Owners There were major problems with disc transport failure, which many owners had to replace. I replaced it, the motherboard, flash memory, and the power supply within the first year. I think the only original part left was the chassis. | |
| Thiel Owners Yes I sold the BDP-09 last year. Pioneer stopped updating the firmware to support newer Blu-ray authoring schemes. I felt it was sonically and visually superior to the Oppo but the load times and sketchy BD-Live support made the parting, amicable.... | |
| Thiel Owners You can read about my introduction to Thiel in my blog The Coherent Source .BTW, I have posted a few pictures in the Virtual Systems section, in case you were interested. | |
| Thiel Owners @robinbarbourHave you considered changes in temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure affecting the sound waves? It's measurable and audible. Could be that simple. | |
| Thiel Owners Ugh. Unsubbing from this thread. | |
| Thiel Owners So not only is it unwise; it's unsound. BA DUM PAH! Thank you. I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your bar staff. |
