| Thiel Owners Masking tape has my vote. | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound, the OEM drivers are no longer available, nor can the mid-range be rebuild. Tweeters of dynaudio are still available used. The bass equaliser of the 3.5 is prone to damage from static electricity, and Rob is out of parts to repair them. Fo... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound, thanks. I'm very aware of my cautious budget choices as this was more a proof of concept exploration. What would you have done differently? We can continue this discussion by email if preferred. | |
| Thiel Owners ok, as promised here is my lengthy write-up of my summer project modifying my Thiel CS3.5https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A1Hs9g2tr27cGUfzSX8IcUy3dC-TpVrk/view?usp=sharing | |
| Thiel Owners McCormack is also good and in your price range. However, the power of your amp is more then adequate for your music IMHO. | |
| Thiel Owners Solo, I have been using Eric Clapton, Unplugged lately. With amps, blind comparison is essential, letting my wife do the switching between amps, making sure the spl is equal.I started on the write up and it will be a lengthy document to cover ever... | |
| Thiel Owners Solobone, I tested the same combination of 3b-st against the par. 7b-st, thinking that more current would be making an audible difference. At the spl that I play my music 80dB, there was no difference and the actual difference in Max spl was maybe... | |
| Thiel Owners Your Bryston in bridged mode is not recommended for the low impedance of your speakers. In bridge mode, 8 ohm is recommended as minimum and your speakers go down to below 3 ohm. Keep them in unbridged mode and they will comfortably go down to 4 oh... | |
| Thiel Owners When I checked last week with Rob G., he had a NEW rosewood 7.2 for 10K. | |
| Thiel Owners Sdl4, is that the system from Atlanta? I had made an offer for it but ended up getting my 3.7 As Tom stated, those dented dust caps are unlikely to cause any audible changes. Enjoy. | |
| Thiel Owners The outriggers of my 3.7 are about 13.75" in front and 9.75" in back. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom I'm giving it a shot. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, i fully concur. I have at least for now abandoned the 4th order xo and returned to the 1st and 2nd order and trying to linearize the overlapping area of the xo and keeping the ringing in the inaudible range. The blend of the different drivers... | |
| Thiel Owners With dsp any xo can be linearized with zero phase at the xo area though with ringing often hidden in the noise level. | |
| Thiel Owners In the past several months I have done hours of listening and measuring of my 3.5 with passive and active digital xo. That Thiel originally also explored the triamping active xo makes good sense. The passive xo system still has these problems:Each... |
