| Thiel Owners JAFANT - Thanks for the Great Falls VA lead. It's looking like a winner. | |
| Thiel Owners jazzman7 - I perused the CODA stuff. Wow. I'd love to hear their most recent iterations. I queried John at Benchmark about more power, which he is not planning to do. He claims that THIS amp design does not increase distortion when bridged to mon... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound - I have some original drivers for my own speakers. Haven't yet worked up the replacement midrange and tweeter, which will go in the Renaissance 03, 03a, CS3 and CS3.5. The woofers are tanks and rebuildable by Rob. TT | |
| Thiel Owners unsound - my present purposes are to get a pair in Bill's shop. I can send him drivers if necessary, but shipping cabinets is cost-prohibitive. | |
| Thiel Owners Wisconsin and Denver. Looking for driving distance from central Virginia. All leads welcome. | |
| Thiel Owners All - I am searching for a pair of Thiel CS3.5s for Bill Thalmann of Music Technology to use for listening to equalizer upgrades. His shop is located in Springfield, east-central Virginia. Prefer working condition, any physical condition. Borrow, ... | |
| Thiel Owners jazzman7 - I'm eager to hear your considerations, especially your critique / assessment of the Benchmark vs CODA. | |
| Thiel Owners jeroboam - for the record, your 2.4s were made in Lexington with masonite point to point XO boards with American / European passive parts, and best-of-form wire. I and others consider them to be better than the later units with Chinese XOs and wir... | |
| Thiel Owners jeroboam - I recently borrowed a pair of CS2.4s (#3729-3730) with post "Thiel-grade" passive parts: (Solen caps, ERSE coils, etc.) These later crossovers morphed to Chinese-made fiberglass boards with cloned parts, polyester caps, etc. that I foun... | |
| Thiel Owners Tony - I'll get VibrationAnalysis. Seems like a very direct way to get information in real time. | |
| Thiel Owners I'm one of those who hasn't really questioned spikes, since they solve the real problem of cabinet recoil slurring the tweeter output. But this isolation mechanism doesn't seem to unsolve anything - the speakers aren't free to recoil, simply deco... | |
| Thiel Owners Tony - thanks for the lead. Have you or anyone here experimented with a dense block coupled to the floor via Mortite / BlueTac, etc? | |
| Thiel Owners And the iPad app? | |
| Thiel Owners Tony - what a beautiful system!And thank you for your isolation update. Might you tell us what app you use for vibration analysis? Was there a particular magic about 3Hz? I find this stuff fascinating. | |
| Thiel Owners Dspr - it seems to me that if there is a difference, the outriggers would be an improvement, not just different strokes. In product design, we always have to stop somewhere, and spikes in the base is where we stopped. I can see how a broader base ... |
