| Thiel Owners bonedog - Rob at Coherent Source Service has those woofers and/or rebuild kits. That's the way to go, the hardware lasts forever. That driver is spectacular, an early edition of proprietary and groundbreaking technologies. | |
| Thiel Owners Tweak - can you speak to why you chose iron (magnetic) rather than stone (more innert)? | |
| Thiel Owners JAFant - jazz is great all around for its layers of nuance. And there's a lot of well-made jazz out there. I landed on my wide rather than deep approach to sources partly as a contrast to the usual way. Thiel, and most others I knew at the time, u... | |
| Thiel Owners Tweak - your Starsound wire comment is fascinating. As I seek to reduce jacketing contribution, you are using it as an electromagnetic design element. Are you guys associated with MIT? | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - I would love your feedback regarding their sound, when the time comes. I'll say that the more that I improve the technical performance and address the shortcomings caused by our naivete in 1976, the less they sound like Thiel 02s, and the m... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - for my explorations of imagination I use the 02 as a path not taken. An entire business could have been built on developing and enriching that simple two way box. My unambiguous progress is in the realm of the acousto-mechanical: grille and... | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg - I don't have a track. My MO is to play more music rather than concentrating on a single cut. So, I skip through the disc to find passages that do whatever I need to do. I will say that disc one is more obnoxious, disc 2 is the best, and t... | |
| Thiel Owners As I mentioned, I don't have 3.7s. If I were testing them, I would find some music and/or test signal that reliably produce the problem. I would use a stethoscope to reliably hear it. I would then mount felt and test, then add UltraSuede and test.... | |
| Thiel Owners Try it. Send a PM for more detail.TT | |
| Thiel Owners Tmsrdg - I don't have 3.7s, but there is some baffle flat. My 1.6s benefited from laminar launch baffle treatment. | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - I want to thank you personally for cheering the 02s awhile back. Your enthusiasm caused me to get a few pairs which are now my primary workhorses for comparing solutions and making sense of upgrade package choices. The stock 02 is surprisin... | |
| Thiel Owners You guys are on to something. I got a pair of 3.6s about 1.5 years ago and discovered the phenomenon you all are addressing. It barely, if at all, exists on the CS2.2 or 3.5, of great familiarity to me, and subsequently not very present on the CS1... | |
| Thiel Owners solobone - I do not have that Mahler. | |
| Thiel Owners @solobone22 - I'd be glad to listen to your test tune; I have a pair of 3.6s in my studio as permanent references. Note that Rob has rebuild kits for that tweeter (CS2.2, 3.6, 5). If it is fried, I suggest sending the whole unit to Rob, because th... | |
| Thiel Owners snbeall - Rob at Coherent Source Service might have some definitive answers for you. In general, a big voltage swing in audio is 10 volts. Interesting thing about hearing is that our brain compensates somehow. My HF rolls off starting at 4K, but I... |
