| Thiel Owners tomthiel,Thanks for insider info on the PCS. Wondering why you referred to them as the “Y2K PCS” however? - as if there was perhaps another (later?) version…For what it’s worth, peering thru the access port shows a Jan 2005 manufacture date on the... | |
| Thiel Owners This is my fourth (or fifth?) purchase from TMR. All were very positive experiences. Not only do they attract and screen for good quality pre-owned equipment, but more importantly their packaging has always been top notch. Anyone who has purchased... | |
| Thiel Owners @jon_5912.. yes. I got them from TMR. I really didn’t need more either, but I’ve always been curious about the PCS model. Frankly, I fully expected to play and return, but as I wrote, I’m smitten. Computer speakers?! - these things fill my 15,000 ... | |
| Thiel Owners Oh, I forgot to mention that what I’m powering the PCS’s with is a lowly Bluesound Powernode 2i. A Hypex based/licensed amp rated at 100W into 4 ohms. Dunno… I’ve been an audiophile for a few decades now. This Hypex amp comes and goes to black. Ha... | |
| Thiel Owners Sorry, but I’m going to take the thread away from CS 2.4’s for a moment (but not too far I believe?)I just picked up a mint pair of PCS’s and within 3 seconds of firing them up, I realized that they were something special.I have a USS equivalent (... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? DSOTMPainted it (including heartbeat) running around my dorm room as a college freshman. It remained for several years. | |
| Thiel Owners beetlemania,tomthiel and Rob have said they lack the schematics for any of the active electronics (at least until the bankruptcy is settled - the hope being that they might turn up once they can sift the ashes). This includes all of the sub amps. ... | |
| Thiel Owners beetlemania,I may be coming into your 2.4 saga late, but when you mention sub reinforcement, why do you go Vandersteen? Rather than Thiel that have very well matched subs - particularly via speaker level PX crossovers? I have at least 6 different ... | |
| Thiel Owners I have a Starke Sound AD4.320 amp on trial currently. Had some issues getting it working with my PX-02 crossover and USS sub, but suddenly everything worked. Intermittent connection somewhere. I have Powerpoint 1.2’s on my hardwood over (heavy urb... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon_5912,About wire/cable effects, I’m with you - a bit skeptical (and feeling bad about it). That said, I have to think that if there are effects, many would come from length, not to mention physical connections/interfaces (as tomthiel has found)... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel et al,What are your thoughts on this paper from Townshend Audio about cable technology. Would seem to fly in the face of everything we - or at least I - know or believe about speaker level cable:http://www.townshendaudio.com/PDF/The%20Sou... | |

| Thiel Owners Jon_5912,Back to amp question, you might want to check out Starke Sound's AD4.320. They are on sale, satisfy many of your requirements, offer hassle free 30 day in home trial. A unique D class module boosted to 600kHz and analog power supply. No a... | |
| Starke Sound That’s surprising. When I recently contacted them, they replied the same day - on a weekend no less. In subsequent followup email, I got a personal reply from the founder/owner himself. That said, a recent followup inquiry has not yet been answere... | |
| Finally found THE SPEAKER!!! @drewdeSpeaking of perforated screens and speakers behind, what screen do you plan to use so as not to ruin the sound of the Wisdoms? Do you know what Wisdom was using in their demo theater? |
