| Thiel Owners Tweeter for 3.5 was the dynaudio D28a. And the successor. Still show up on eBay at times and Rob G. still had a few available not that long ago. Substituting a driver is more complicated then it appears, although the Tweeter replacement might be t... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, if Thiel speakers keep phase changes to a minimum, would according to the same reasoning keeping the phase changes to zero as in linear phase be better then minimum phase? Creating linear phase is possible with active digital sound processing... | |
| Thiel Owners Cabinlife, the 1.5 has good mid and high but the lower range would benefit from a pair of subwoofers. Well suited for smaller spaces. | |
| Thiel Owners Ob, my exploration in alternative setup for the 3.5 are motivated by lack of original mid-range and tweeter replacements and parts for damaged eq. Just like you, I value the Sonic properties of the 3.5 and want to examine ways to preserve or enhan... | |
| Thiel Owners You have a point that feeding only the woofer with the eq can cause a delay in the signal and should be avoided. For the bass, a slight delay may not be as critical as it would be for the mid and high. | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound, you probably know that the xo is a parallel design and each section is wired to the binding post. To bi amp is only a minor modification. | |
| Thiel Owners My recommendation would be1. Carefully check your mid-range drivers with the willingness to discover cracks in the surround ring. It is common after 10 years of regular use with the equalizer that signs of deterioration develop, according to Rob G... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm getting ready to dive in and begin my project of modding my 3.5. I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in collaborating as it would be more fun. My initial exploration indicated that this speaker is begging for tri amping. It would allow ... | |
| Thiel Owners Appreciate this good sense of humor. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, the specs look very similar except for the power rating of the 10F, which is at 30 Watt. Any concerns about this? I believe the current mid range was rated at 150 Watt. | |
| Thiel Owners Rob is a sole proprietor with no employees. Make sure you are using his new phone number (859) 554-9790. When I checked with Miller sound to have my mid-range repaired they warned me that they accepted only if it was personally dropped off as they... | |
| Thiel Owners Take a close look at your mid-range drivers. Seeing any cracks near the surround edge? The replacement mid-range driver currently under testing for the 3.5 may also work for the 3.0 | |
| Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support? Considered getting a LG v30 phone? Refurbished prices are good. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, I also have a pair of model 2 that I'm using in a home theater setup. Interested in possible improvements. | |
| Thiel Owners The thing with the first order XO is that all drivers are exposed to a wide frequency band and the 3.5 mid-range is not able to handle a high power, rated at about 50 W. Been talking this afternoon to Rob about the various alternatives for this dr... |
