Thiel Owners All - I think this lovely Autumn Friday in New Hampshire is a good time to share some recent developments. Several months ago, there were posts here about the Thiel midrange being shouty and harsh, and I pushed back to have set up scores of shows ... | |
Thiel Owners Jafant - I catch all the posts, but try to limit my input to matters that matter. Rob has told me about the 2.3 x MCS coax, but third-party verification is always in order before anyone commits cash. | |
Thiel Owners Ambroiseg - I believe the MCS-1 shares the coax with the CS2.3 | |
Thiel Owners yyz - for your smallish space, you might also consider CS2.7s with the same coax. Lots of fans here. | |
Thiel Owners Bighempin - I agree with Paul: in the pistonic range the same amount of air is moved, so the frequency response is not impacted very much. But there are further subtleties in my opinion. The shape of the compression wave coupled to the air will ge... | |
Thiel Owners Yes! perhaps a fat milkshake straw for mouth suction. | |
Thiel Owners Andy 2 - Beetlemania and Holco (?) both reported improvements with internal wire. I have wire from StraightWire and Cardas in my comparison kit. However, the wire itself in the 2.4s is pretty high-end. It is 5-9s, high purity, low oxygen, long cry... | |
Thiel Owners Bighempin - I have never seen that tweeter up close and personal. I believe that tweeter module comes out of the midrange mount. But that's risky business for a non-adept. I personally would try it in place. Your child's finger went in the center ... | |
Thiel Owners Bighempin - try masking tape or rig a vacuum cleaner to a small diameter tube to suck it out. I suggest a vacuum bypass in your tube, such as a hole you can cover with your finger to adjust vacuum pressure. Too much vacuum pressure could rupture t... | |
Thiel Owners Rob says the CS1.2 tweeter is a SEAS 25TAC/GW H420 which is different from your SEAS 25TAF/G H400. Rob has rebuild kits, but no new drivers. | |
Thiel Owners Jimi - my apologies for confusion. I mis-remembered your model. I was speaking about the CS1.6 tweeter and you have CS1.2s for which I have no information. Please query Rob and let us know the outcome. | |
Thiel Owners Jimihandtrix - I checked my CS1.6 tweeters and contacted Rob. The answer is that the CS1.6 tweeter is a custom-made driver from the ground up - there are no markings on it. The SEAS may physically fit, but that's where the similarity ends. Note th... | |
Thiel Owners Jafant - The amps have been struggling for over a year and are indeed back home in fine fittle. The first tech made a mess of it, changing some cap values, mis-regulating and stressing some circuits. The second outfit came highly recommended as a ... | |
Thiel Owners Kenazfilan - about doubled up speakers for a bi-pole. Today I gave the configuration a whirl with 2 pairs of CS2.2s back to back. I am driving with a pair of Classe DR-9s and Benchmark AHB-2s both at 100 wpc/8, both bridged to mono. 4 amps into 4 ... | |
Thiel Owners Not at all safe. Thiel tweeters are not ordinary in that Thiel demands response down below 200Hz. Please find out from Rob and let us know here for our records. |
