| Thiel Owners Can you hear a difference with the eq in or out of the chain? With the eq should make a noticeable difference. Otherwise your eq may needs a check up. I have had 2 of mine repaired as they are vulnerable to static electricity. | |
| Thiel Owners Well, Tom, you have given me some ideas how to explore the difference between the active digital xo and the original passive xo of the 3.5. I'll keep the original xo external and begin with comparing the woofer only, with and without the eq, and c... | |
| Thiel Owners Curious how these improvements in passive, analogue xo would compare to active, digital xo. Anyone made this comparison? | |
| Thiel Owners Software is great once you figure out how to set the parameters. Don't know if a better and cheaper way to explore the variables of audio reproduction. | |
| Thiel Owners Andy, I did a lot of work with rephase last summer, compared linear and min phase xo and equalized individual drivers and room effects. Used my 2 sets of cs3 to compare the results. The software is excellent. Give it a try. Can offer some help if ... | |
| Thiel Owners Reuben, for historical prices of Thiel speakers you can use hifishark.com | |
| Thiel Owners Bluestone, I'm curious about your experiences with different mid range drivers and also with these vintage amplifiers. Keep sharing. Thanks | |
| Thiel Owners At audiosciencereviews.com amirm has now a top of the line Kippel measurement set up that produces spinorama graphs that correlate .86 with user satisfaction of speakers. Would be nice if someone from the Seattle area could let him take some measu... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof I don't find myself pining for more bass either with the Thiels or the Josephs.Your experiences may be different but for me the subs really add something that I don't realize until it is not there. It is not so much more bass but clearly he... | |
| Thiel Owners Although the Thiel subs are great, I decided not to go this route as Rob warned me that he can't service these build in amps. When they malfunction, you are stuck. | |
| Thiel Owners Brayeagle, have to admit that my subwoofers fixed any bass deficiencies of my 3.7. current measurements show bass extension down in the teens. | |
| Thiel Owners I had the 3.5 and got last year the 3.7. I can argue both ways: the mid and highs of the 3.7 are superb, but the bass and extended bass can be improved with subs. They're improvements that shine in a large room. Now, it all depends on the room. If... | |
| Thiel Owners It is nice to imagine innovations to the Thiel speakers but to really make this happen will take a considerable investment. I'm curious how many of us have resources to share to assist Tom in his pursuit and would be able to commit to make this a ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for putting this in words. I fully concur with your observations. Even though some improvement of the speakers is audible, I get the biggest improvement from the improved room response from experimenting and simulating with different placem... | |
| Thiel Owners Great posts. Just got lost with this statement. Not sure if there is a typo:The CS3.5's equalizer was a gigantic improvement, which I found to sound just as good as no eq at all. |
