| Thiel Owners mrfizziks - I would have to do a web search. Rob would know. BTW, Rob is working toward getting help to keep up with business. If necessary, we could plug in a CS1 woofer, which is conceptually and practically the same driver with some Thiel refin... | |
| Thiel Owners @goldbehen - I’ll go so you don’t get left in the dust. It can pile up quickly here. The 3.5s, like all Thiel speakers are designed to be wide-dispersion transducers. So their off-axis environment is more critical than many other designs. They sh... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - first a disclaimer. I have no real experience with the WATT or any other Wilson products, beyond interested observation. My connection is primarily one of curiosity. The WATT has been considered an audiophile reference from its beginning,... | |
| Thiel Owners mrfizziks - Rob at CSS is swamped. Best approach is thru his website. Keep trying. Your tweeters are Polydax HD130x105D34E and your woofers are Credence 6C 16PP1. | |
| Thiel CS2 @sjbellers - adding to unsound's post, your "Thiel CS3s" are getting upgrade attention in parallel with the CS3.5. The Audiogon Thiel Owners' Forum may be of service to you. | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - your audio interest is immense! I, on the other hand, have very little experience outside the realm of Thiel. I believe that some day you might become a candidate for an enhanced CS2.4. | |
| Thiel Owners beetle - I think their hall ambience retrieval is real rather than an artifact. Consider that a large portion of speakers have the 100Hz bump, but don't 'hear' the hall. I suspect that Wilson's heroically quiet enclosures along with their ultra hi... | |
| Thiel Owners JA - I figured out the WAMM part, but jumped to the WATT because I had a little experience with it, but not the WAMM. Have you ever heard a setup? | |
| Thiel Owners petaluman - I can't be of much practical help other than referring you to Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service. If the 03a schematic exists, he would have it. There is an aftermarket op-amp EQ called the 'golden flute' in a brass tube. Here's a l... | |
| Thiel Owners JA - I don’t know what to say! That is quite a kludge. The WAMM became a pinnacle of audiophile extravaganza. It (Wilson Audio Modular Monitor) launched an enterprise that audio history will be chewing on for a long time. My personal perspective ... | |
| Thiel Owners JA - please provide a link. I don't see it on YouTube. | |
| Thiel Owners beetlemania - these tweaks have accumulated over the few years we've been working on these upgrades together. The 2.4 is in a relatively good position among its peers, with its 2 crossovers at distnace from each other and from the woofer. Also, th... | |
| Thiel Owners @improvedsound - what a lovely playback system you have! I am honored to have Thiel speakers in such sophisticated company. I'm not sure how much knowledge there is about Antelope and Merging in the American hi-fi marketplace. I love them from the... | |
| Thiel Owners thieliste - I don't think so. The only components of real concern are the electrolytic caps. Thiel used high-performance, high-temperature, long-life Ecaps with a normal use horizon of 40 years. 'Normal' is a slippery target, but Rob has said the ... | |
| Thiel Owners jon_5912 - I wholeheartedly agree. Jim not only was a master of his design craft, he applied tons of time to evaluating each component to identify where costs could be shaved without sacrificing performance. His performance / cost ratio was amazin... |
