| Thiel Owners My external crossovers have 1 single input pair from the amp and 2 output pairs from the board to the 2pr of terminals mounted to the back of the speaker cabinet. The leads from amp to crossover are 6 ft. The leads from the crossover to the spea... | |
| Thiel Owners There is a method of material coupling where the collection of resonant energy is transferred to a large disc of the same material effectively increasing the surface area many times. And if you have 3 or 4 these devices then you effectively have t... | |
| Thiel Owners Agreed upon. When going outboard with a Dunlavy modified crossover there was a gain in performance even more so when placed on a resonance grounding platform. Not a so called isolation platform as those trap and slow burn the exit of resonance. Yo... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello Agburns, There were 2 Toms working at the main Louisville store at the same time. I was and still am the shorter 1. The other Tom was tall with very curly hair. He had a very animated style while mine was considered more laid back TomD | |
| Thiel Owners Tom Thiel, Are you stating you would mount the crossover board up right on edge? If that is correct this would expose the circuit board direct in line to the most significant mechanical impact from any open back driver in the cabinet. Visual wo... | |

| Thiel Owners Cowhorn, if we get together I have an extra pair of Sistrum/Live platforms I can bring along. They work wonders under everything that has motion, electrical or mechanical. Not many of us locals involved in quality audio ..darn shame. Tom | |

| Thiel Owners Cowhorn, I may have sold you those Thiels at Ovation where I managed the main store here in Louisville. I have experience with audio over 5 decades. I can offer you my ears if you need a second opinion. Tom | |
| Worth repairing Essence Amp? There were many of Dales amps sold here in Louisville they were also serviced here at one time. Great local tech semi retired he may or may not want to service. They are not your normal layout and parts selection. I owned 2 of these amps and they ... | |
| The Amazing Purifi Speaker Drivers ! Major-Breakthrough I have been using Purifi drivers for over 2 years they are very special. Great midrange clarity and they are a seamless blend with my ViaWave ribbon tweeters. Tom | |
| Thiel Owners I took my Dunlavy SC 4s outboard 20 yrs ago as is my current build. Crossovers also sound better when mounted on brass Audiopoints this can be done in the cabinet or outside . Noticeable ..TomD | |
| Thiel Owners If a crossover is mounted to the floor base of the cabinet it will be closer to mechanical ground and then resonace will be more easily drained. Plus the mounting of the crossover to the backwall is like a backboard on a basketball goal. Bouncey b... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - my thoughts are that having a steel grill even a mesh in front of a driver with a very powerfull neo magnetic field will alter the inductance of the coil as it moves between the magnetic field . The steel in front will bend the intended fi... | |
| Thiel Owners I removed the steel door that covers my breaker panel box which is located in my audio room. With 2 friends present I did a door on door off listening test. Obvvious improvement every time with panel off. Steel will alter the flux field as a sign... |
