| Thiel Owners Regarding bass extension: I own the 3.7s and 2.2s. The 3.7s have been in my system ever since buying them last year and I'm preparing to sell the 2.2s. I was noticing some "crackle" in the tweeter of one of the 3.7 speakers and decided to change ... | |
| Thiel Owners @ronkent,Thanks. Gonna have to make the drive to Boulder sooner than later...Todd | |
| Thiel Owners There are several instances of the Spectral DMA-360 Series 2 mono power amps for sale on the secondary market which I am considering for my 3.7s.Anyone here have any opinions or experiences with these and Thiel?Thanks!Todd | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Your message to @ronkent mentions the phase coherence of the playback chain. How does one tell if the playback chain is phase coherent?Todd | |
| Thiel Owners @ronkent,How do you handle the crossovers with the REL/3.7 combo? I own the 3.7 and have been thinking of the same thing.Todd | |
| Thiel Owners OK, a little removed from the "speaker" thread, but at least related: I run my 3.7 speakers with a Classe CA-300 amp. It has developed a slight hum audible from the tweeters. I've found someone in my area who works on this kind of thing. I'm wonde... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,What, for reference sake, is your definition of "large room." For example, ours is 20x20x8. Fortunately, the room is within an open layout floor plan, so there are openings on three of the four sides.Thanks for the input.Todd | |
| Thiel Owners @sgmlaw,Which CA series Classe do you use? I'm using a CA-300 with the 3.7s, but have been wondering for a while if that is enough. I'm interested in and concerned about recapping at this point. Classical solo/chamber/orchestral only (with maybe a... | |
| Thiel Owners Something fishy with these numbers. My Thiel 3.7s are serial 1041, 1042. This is indicated on the shipping carton. However, I talked with Rob yesterday about the issue of different crossovers being used with this model. He told me that the 3.7 run... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom --The story behind Morado and Amberwood that you relate is amazing and rich! I'm looking at the Amberwood finish on my 2.2s right now. Absolutely beautiful and amazing. I have a question. The 3.7s are the models currently "in my system," and y... | |
| Thiel Owners Happy Birthday, Tom.It's a pleasure!Todd | |
| Thiel Owners Since we're talking about amps again: some time ago I posted a plea for a list, however small, of amps that by spec would be completely capable of matching the low impedance needs of the Thiels. Has anything materialized? I mean, besides the Krell... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,You wrote: "I have ruled out many amps as very good, but . . . somehow not neutral or transparent. "Could you please list these for our enlightenment?Todd | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel ,Nice observation re spruce soundboards. Although I've pretty much retired from "the scene," I spent many years as a professional classical guitarist. My instrument has a Sitka top. If left unplayed for any longish interval, it sounds t... | |
| Thiel Owners Wait, wait...I'm confused here: the Parasound JC5 doesn't double into 4 ohms and isn't even rated into 2. I thought these were important criteria. What am I missing?Todd |
