| Thiel Owners Ron - your 3.7s are State of Thiel Art and I have plenty to learn before claiming to improve them. But, I already am generating ideas. | |
| Thiel Owners Rules - my concern is to thoroughly investigate the parameters and then compensate as necessary. I will develop the Thiele-Small parameters of the old and new drivers to judge how the changes interact with the crossover. Furthermore, since first-o... | |
| Thiel Owners I am modeling the old drivers for comparison and compensation in the replacement drivers for their Renaissance-life. bluetone - the 3.5 drivers and crossovers would be helpful for my modeling efforts. I would offer them for further use once I am ... | |
| Thiel Owners Dino - I suggest that you contact Rob. Note that if he neglected your prior request, it was not intentional. Rob has the best chance of supplying relevant information for your decision. Regarding option 3 above: My present work is all preliminary,... | |
| Thiel Owners I would be interested to know if anyone here has evaluated the filter. My opinion is extrapolated from what I see and what he told me - I haven't heard it. Anyone? | |
| Thiel Owners About a year ago when I was re-exposing myself to the State of Thiel, I called the guy offering this filter. I judged that he is seeking to smooth out the measured upper midrange squiggles without understanding the nature of those squiggles as low... | |
| Thiel Owners Ron - It's good to be here. This project wouldn't be happening without you guys. The 3.7 is perhaps at the end of the timeline, since it is a very well optimized design and not in danger of cap failure. Especially, the cabinet is pretty quiet, bu... | |
| Thiel Owners Rosami - Good question about who installs what how and where. At this point the situation is more like a stew simmering on the stove than a clearly delineated plan. It is probable that we will develop a bag of tricks, some of which can be implemen... | |
| Thiel Owners Spur - Rob Gillum of Coherent Source Service has repair parts and experience for all Thiel models. To your direct question: Yes, same tweeter. That tweeter was developed fully in-house for the CS5 and also used in the 2.2 as well as the 3.6. Of co... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon - you guys are expressing the fundamental quandary, sometimes stated as ’Mother Nature is a -----’. The laws of physics can only be bent so far before they dig in their heels. The model 3 (as in 03) was developed with very good bass as a princ... | |
| Thiel Owners Rosami - thank you for your cogent synopsis. On the bright side, I do have a pair of 3.6s in the HotRod Garage. So that model is more real than hypothetical. Also, the subtle knowledge I am garnering from my experiments applies to all models. It i... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy - Unaskedfor advice, given in good faith: I would find it nearly impossible and at least thoroughly frustrating to design a first-order, phase coherent loudspeaker. It took us decades to develop and improve drivers to eventually cover 7 octav... | |
| Thiel Owners jthifi - don't you love it when he talks that way?I am referring to a Stasis design, and not the original A series. Stasis was the dynamic bias which has morphed and grown throughout Nelson's career.unsound - I now may remember that we used a 400e... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello Paco - difficult room. Some setup thoughts from my experience: Phase-time coherence introduces problems not heard in normal time-challenged speakers. Your ear-brain strives to make sense of the signal. In non-coincident driver Thiels, the re... | |
| Thiel Owners jthifi - Stasis was the or among the first Pass designs. Its sliding bias and resulting internal stability obviated the need for global feedback. It is very linear and musical and as mentioned, Thiel used the Stasis 400A (last 70s) as one of its d... |
