| Thiel Owners @robinbarbour Understood. What I was getting at was the form factor of the CS6. Obviously it would need a sealed chamber at the bottom to isolate the 12" sub from the 10". I was also thinking about the crossover considerations that Thiel already ... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anybody know whether Jim Thiel ever played around with the idea of an active loudspeaker?I've wondered about frankensteining something in the CS6 form factor, consisting of the CS3.7's crossover, coax, and woofer; and the PX02, SS3's amp and ... | |
| Thiel Owners I've always assumed the recommended power was based on an 8 ohm load since that's how amps are normally advertised. It was up to you and your dealer to recognize that you needed one that doubled down at 4 and 2 ohm. | |
| Thiel Owners jafant,i know that Thiel crossed it over at 300 Hz and sloped it off accordingly to around 70 Hz. But i was really wondering about the physical capability of the driver. i.e. If you were to create a mini monitor with it, alone, what could be the ... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anybody know what the theoretical frequency range capability is of the 3.7's coax? Rob G. told me 3k, but I think he misunderstood my query, and just gave me the mechanical crossover point. i.e how low can it actually go? | |
| Thiel Owners I was waiting to hear what unsound would say... For me, going from the CS2 to the CS2.4 was a no-brainer. There was enough bass extension and tightness to make the jump. The 3.5 (or 3.6) is tricker because of their aforementioned attributes. I'm... | |
| Thiel Owners It's times like these, when you need to revisit Louis Rossman's rant on YouTube for some giggles. https://youtu.be/SkR5lAl22kk | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Wouldn't consider them the worst, but, the most DISAPPOINTING speaker I had heard (that I can recall) was the PSB Synchrony One. Lots of hype and accolades that left me feeling "meh". They just didn't sound "right" to me.Cheers,Warren | |
| Thiel Owners So I swapped out the Monster Powerline 2 speaker cables, to the CS2.4SE, for a shorter pair of Kimber 8TC; more out of curiosity than anything.First impression: everything sounded the same tonally. No difference in the soundstage either. It was th... | |
| Thiel Owners Dan, I have found that the PSB Imagine Minis mate quite well with my 2.4s in my room. They have their own adjustable wall bracket too. Cheers,Warren | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant So what are your go-to cables with the Thiels, out of curiosity? | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks. The Kimber Hero is fine. The system ran with original Monster M1000 (the grey ones from 1989) throughout until i needed to buy more when I went to 7.1. Then i just switched it up. As long as the cables are well-insulated from interferen... | |
| Thiel Owners Like I said: lotto = new music room. The speakers are 181 and 182. So yours are the 89th pair (pretty much the end of the line).If we must talk about the system details, here’s the analogue chain:Ortofon Cadenza Red > SME Series IV > Oracle ... | |
| HDMI max distance I use a 40’ (12m) Ultralink high-speed HDMI cable to my projector. I haven’t noticed any problems.Cheers,Warren | |
| Classe SSP I'm actually holding off on buying a Classé Sigma SSP until I see their solution for UHD/4K processing. This is probably why you're seeing so many processors (with HDMI 1.4) on the used market now. The SSP-800 just seems to have so many unnecess... |
