| Thiel Owners Tom, we are not in disagreement. The pre-ringing is only a concern if I use linear filters to reduce the phase differences in the xo range. With digital minimum filters this is no concern but the phase differences are harder to control. I don't ge... | |
| Thiel Owners It is my understanding that a 360 degree phase rotation has no audible impact. The audible impact of a phase shift is more likely if the drivers interact and deviate from the baseline phase. My measurements of individual thiel drivers show remarka... | |
| Thiel Owners Listened to the section on qobuz at modest volume and was not able to identify any distortion. | |
| Thiel Owners Brettmcee. If you don't have a way to take measurements, send your speakers a mono signal and compare your left and right channel. Make sure they get the same source signal strength. Listen carefully if you can detect any differences between left ... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound, before you dismiss the multiamp option for the cs5i, I would be surprised if the impedance of each woofer would be lower then 3 ohm. In parallel the impedance of 3 woofers of course drops to the low level but if each woofer is powered sep... | |
| Thiel Owners If we had a sticky option, I would elevate Tom's description of thiel speakers to that status. It is fully consistent with my experience.The 3.7 with sub woofers is an excellent system.Tri-amping with eq for system and room effects has done wonder... | |
| Thiel Owners Thoft, bring it to the attention of the owner of the house. Without ground, your fuses or circuit breakers may not be effective and cause a fire hazard. Don't live with that risk. It should get fixed. | |
| Thiel Owners But what about the facts? Although Thiel claims that the phase is within 15 degrees, I have not been able to see that in any of my measurements. Time coherence on the direct sound is fine and at 10 ft measures within milliseconds. But then there i... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon, get a purify amp, or an hypex amp if you want to safe some money. Almost as transparent as the benchmark, twice the power, half or less the money. | |
| Thiel Owners Check audiosciencereview.com for their listing of reviewed dacs with pre-amps. | |
| Thiel Owners Questions about the proper amp for Thiel speakers come often up here. I would answer such a question by inquiring what is your standard and weakest link in the chain. I have yet the standard for myself to have a resolving chain of 16 bits or bette... | |
| Thiel Owners You could be lucky and arrive at a great sounding system by trial and error. But this is a situation where experience with measuring pays off. Learning to make valid measurements pays dividend in the long run. | |
| Thiel Owners Bonedog, I would be curious about your measurements before and after you installed your new midrange. Did you use rew? | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound, or the 3.5 with the coax from the 3.7 and a pair of sealed sub woofers. | |
| Thiel Owners Thoft, are you importing your luxman yourself? A while back I did some research and noticed a significant price savings if you can live with the voltage adjustment and warranty. Which model did you order? |
