| Thiel Owners jafant - The 2.4s I bought from oblgny (thank you) are #s 2093, 2094 which is about halfway through the product life of 2300 pair. I'll be interested to see the particulars of their crossovers when I get inside them. | |
| Thiel Owners My response crossed yours in space. These speakers were not modded. A resistor lead touching a coil does not make electrical contact since the coil wire is insulated with varnish. I suggest you do some manual housekeeping so that nothing touches a... | |
| Thiel Owners halifax - I understand your unease about the visually sloppy work. However, the boards look totally right to me. Those are classic Thiel brands and layout. Later 2.4s went to China on PC boards, and some had poorly made coils. I like the sound of ... | |
| Thiel Owners halifax - I'm interested in this post. The pix don't post on my mac. Can you try a different way and/or send me a PM? | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - by post 3.6 product I meant that the drivers will use all of the 3.6 technologies plus some additional ones. I'm not presently addressing any products newer than the discrete-driver ones. Those drivers are geriatric and mostly obsolete. R... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - yes, my workhorse with outside collaborators is based on the 02. We invent and update ideas and can send them coast to coast at reasonable cost and risk. The fruit of these experiments will hopefully take some marketable form, probably in... | |
| Thiel Owners Yes, separate power supplies would be better. In all design undertakings a significant piece of the art is cost-effectiveness. Bill and I discussed various solutions and agreed that a more robust supply with various isolation techniques increases ... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - at Bill's shop, he must be able to drive all kinds of loads with both unbalanced and balanced inputs. CJ experimented wide and long about adding balanced operation and chose to not go there. The unbalanced circuit simplicity won the music... | |
| Thiel Owners As time went on, the unit count of Thiel models decreased and the export percentage increased. I can only speculate as to causes. The 2.4 only sold about 2300 pair, let's guess half of them in the USA. And their owners tend to love and hold them. ... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - I’m sorry I couldn’t really ’tour’ his capabilities. I took a few hours of his time for our focused business. His bench seemed to have a pretty big bank of gear: oscilloscope, signal generator, etc. I don’t know whether he has an audio an... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny - on the bright side, you have virtually no standing wave problems. Also, you can pressurize the propagation space with a subwoofer (or two) to reduce main driver excursions for cleaner sound. Or sliding doors to wall off that large (dining... | |
| Thiel Owners Well - the Virginia trip grew some legs. Beyond my niece's wedding and the Bill Thalmann / Music Technology visit, we added two pairs of vintage Thiel speakers to our stable from Long Island. Oblgny's 2.4s augment a pair borrowed from audiojan to ... | |
| Thiel Owners I'll report on the trip when my feet hit the ground in NH. | |
| Thiel Owners drotti2004 I don’t see any specs for the Loki EQ on the Schiit site. The 03a needs around 6dB at 30Hz with a curve diminishing to zero boost at around 250Hz. Any EQ that does that is suitable. I’d like to add that the 03a is a fairly mature Th... | |
| Thiel Owners Oblgny- thank you for the demo and your CS2.4s Of course more time would have been nicer, but anorher stop and travel to Virginia landed me after midnight. And duegi (was it you?) thank you for the lead to the 7.2s (he calls them 7.1s - he d... |
