| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs Subscribe to tidal hifi and compare dozens of performance of the same piece of music to find out what you like. Worked for me and once you identify what you like it gets easier. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom, I also have a set of series 2 still in use. Helps to have a historical perspective and appreciate all the work that went into it. If somebody wrote a book about thiel history it might make a fascinating movie. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks brayeagle, sounds like you more or less confirm my suspicion. Have others noticed more significant differences after an "upgrade". Remember, I don't play music any louder than 70 DB and very happily employ a 4 watt set amp. | |
| Thiel Owners Brayeagle, since you came from the 3.5 how would you describe the differences with the 3.7 and 2.7. I'm telling myself that with my low max volume of 70 DB, it would be hard to improve on the 3.5 but I have never put it to the test. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, your response is greatly appreciated. I have an extra woofer but it sounds like there may be more wrong. The equalizer was just serviced a few months ago and that was what started me to examine this more closely. Thanks | |
| Thiel Owners Here is just a link to the graph of left speaker (5ft), right speaker (5 ft) and both speakers (16 ft) Same signal sweep for each measurement.https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Ft6xYyKt7vg--wdn5KplLU0Y5hZ7b4s/view?usp=sharingMore detailed info if y... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom, the data files are used in REW to chart the values of frequency responses. After downloading the files, just open them in REW (room equalizer wizard). Rob, who is just around the corner from me is pretty busy and I hate to miss my spea... | |
| Thiel Owners Guys (and galls?) I could use your help in "diagnosing" my speaker problems. I have 2 sets of Thiel 3.5's and the newer set shows an acceptable measurement curve using REW and the build-in sweep measurement. My older speakers that I power with a B... | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez Phones and tablets allow tidal Hi-Fi albums to be downloaded and played. Mqa albums are stored at CD quality. Of course, only while subscription is in effect. | |

| Thiel Owners After some thorough checking trying to explain the major drop off on both the high and bottom end of the spectrum, I discovered that my test sound was the cause. Replacing the pink noise with a sweep test, revealed no major drop off. The pink nois... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom, not the answer I hoped for, but consistent with my preliminary research. | |
| Thiel Owners I have been wondering if it would be possible to increase the impedence with 4 to 6 ohm if I were to refurbish the xo of my 3.5? My single ended otl amp would be more efficient at higher impedence. | |
| Thiel Owners I was in a similar situation when Rob was able to find some parts. An alternative that I found equally if not more effective is a dbx 1231 equalizer from eBay probably less than$100 as there is no market for these. Use the graphic profile from ste... | |
| Thiel Owners Oblngy, that is exactly how I feel and afraid to make the same "mistake". I'll first see if I can identify the problem with the frequency spectrum.Unsound, did you notice an improvement after you rebuild the mid way drivers. |
