| Thiel Owners Regarding the ’splat’ in general. The splat is the audible effect of a larger problem. Interaction of fields in the speaker system cause negative sonic effects at all volume levels - becoming worse as volume increases. Some have described the 2.2 ... | |
| Thiel Owners barnett - the sound in your recording is not the overload 'splat'. Your noise sounds like wire buzz or similar mechanical vibration. Something may be hitting the back of the woofer or passive radiator, or alternately, the surround of the passive r... | |
| Thiel Owners These dimensions are actually better. Your Bonello modes / third ascendency is now full (rather than missing one step) and now most of your bass modes fall squarely between notes with fewer needing attention. Outboard crossovers will be available... | |
| Thiel Owners I can't comment on which amp would best fit your circumstances and orientation. And I don't know the Parasound. I would always go for the larger Adcom. I will have two 555s, they bridge nicely. You do want a dedicated Audio circuit, and upsize the... | |
| Thiel Owners audio1326 - we live with what rooms we have. Complex geometry with openings into other rooms are challenging. My previous studio (shown on my virtual system photos) was such a room. L-shaped in the corner of a 30x48' second floor with bleed to bo... | |
| Thiel Owners barnett - a couple of thoughts about CS2.2s in your room. The room is wonderfully designed. Congratulations on however you got there. The dimensions are right in the middle of the Bolt Pattern which allows for leeway regarding the contribution of... | |
| Thiel Owners barnett - nice system. What is the ceiling height to the actual, hard ceiling? | |
| Thiel Owners Richard - can you please tell us (or repeat) the dimensions of your room? That matters a lot for power requirements. | |
| Thiel Owners Barnett - that room has tons of potential. Can you tell us the dimensions? | |
| Thiel Owners Amberwood they are. And what a nice-looking pair. The two woofers look different. A prospective buyer would do well to ask questions and get Rob Gillum involved. FWIW Rob has deep backup for the 2.2 woofer. | |
| Thiel Owners Correction to my previous post. The moving system of the PowerDriver tweeter is that of the CS7.2 with a spherical dome and rubber surround. The newer SCS4 tweeter moving system was co developed with the CS3.7 / CS2.7. It has the catenary dome and... | |
| Thiel Owners JA - I can share what little I know, and perhaps others can fill in some blanks. I’ve not seen a ViewPoint system except in reviews and photos. There is one PowerDriver, Thiel’s 6.5" x 1" concentric/coincident driver. The woofer and tweeter syste... | |
| Thiel Owners The Viewpoints use the same sealed bass and Power Driver as the PowerPoints. I also fell in love with those - practically unbelievable aren't they? | |
| Thiel Owners Bass is hard to get right, especially as the task is to translate the producers' projections onto our playback reality with a break in psycho-acoustic continuity. In other words, our 'ear-brain' knows our playback environment, but not the performa... | |
| Thiel Owners JA - are you suggesting that I'm approaching middle age? |
