| Thiel Owners I tested the need for high current amps with my new 3.7. And compared carefully my Bryson 3bst with a pair of 7bst, both in parallel and serial setting. Bottom line, the difference in current capacity never came into play as I never reached the sp... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, thanks for the encouragement. Infinite baffle, is that doable with 8x8 wall. As I have a farm and can do outside measurements, been looking for some scaffolding. How high? | |
| Thiel Owners I have ordered some test equipment to do some measurements of the mids of my 3.5 and will compare the specs to some alternative drivers. I'm interested in tri-amping each speaker with digital active cross overs and incorporate fir and peq filters... | |
| Thiel Owners Bluestone, I concur. Last time I talked to Rob, he showed me how many more mid-range he could rebuild and it was the last batch of cones. So, we will need to find a suitable replacement even if we have to compromise. I don't agree with the critici... | |
| Thiel Owners Is there a good program that would measure the speaker specifications? | |
| Thiel Owners Keep in mind when you compare the bass response of different speakers, it is hard to eliminate the room response of the different speakers. Several times I was ready to replace drivers of my 3.5 only to find out with near field measurement that th... | |
| Thiel Owners Your 7b have plenty of current at normal listening levels. In parallel, they can handle 1- 3 ohm speakers effectively. In my testing, I never could tell the advantage of the parallel setting, as my SPL is modest, rarely exceeding 80 DB. | |
| Thiel Owners Which tutorial did you use? Did you also adjust any phase issues? | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks, that helps to build transparency. | |
| Thiel Owners Rew room equalizer wizard. | |
| Thiel Owners A pre and post measurement with Rew is not that much work and could give something tangible to support the subjective improvement or lack of deterioration. As I gain experience and understanding of this powerful tool, I'm less reluctant to pair my... | |
| Thiel Owners Great that there are subjective improvements noted with the upgrade. Can we agree on objective measurements that would capture such an audible improvements and continue the Thiel tradition of both objective and subjective substantiation of improve... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone have the settings of peq filters that would replace the correction of the equalizer of the 3.5 series. I know that a graph of the correction was in measurement section of stereophile review but curious if the peq equivalent. | |
| Thiel Owners When I bought my 3.7 from Rob Gillum, he had one new pair of 2.7 left. Might check if he still has it. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, I feel really good about your balanced, sensible approach to both theoretical and practical considerations to increase audible sound quality. I have become more cautious with assuming that when people make claims of improved SQ they have done... |
