| Thiel Owners Silvano - correct. All, if you don't hear a problem, you don't have a heat / melting problem. The cap melting is caused by sustained high volume use. | |
| Thiel Owners The 2.4 XOs are accessed from the passive radiator. | |
| Thiel Owners unsound - there are real advantages for outboarding, and time may lead there. I have laid out the crossovers in outboard configuration. However, there are problems along with advantages. The separate enclosure flunked the appeal census by a wide ... | |
| Thiel Owners jon - I also enjoy the time I steal to write these messages.Note that I am reconstructing history from various supplier records and so forth. What I believe is that the 3.6 was upgraded in Feb 1996 via XO component changes for smoother performance... | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel's naming has been called confusing, although it is quite logical from inside the system. There are a few different series, which developed organically over time:O the original O series which was sequential, first product, second product, etc... | |
| Thiel Owners andy - your reservations regarding high-power output from the model 2 are valid. Small drivers with relatively low-frequency crosspoints serve to simulate a point source, with off axis / room energy being correctly associated with on-axis / direct... | |
| Thiel Owners I would say that there are many ways to produce some of the aspects of coherence. Rather than massaging the various aspects, I find the way to "see" that a transducer is keeping all the temporal information straight is to feed it an impulse. If th... | |
| Thiel Owners jon - those ATC measurements are commendable and likely to produce very fine results in the frequency domain. For this Thiel thread, I will add a few comments. Loudness: 4th order or any higher than 1st order slopes allow the driver to operate in ... | |
| Thiel Owners In the few minutes I have . . . Andy, good observations - the 2.4 upper coax is crossed over as a single driver - the electrical signal drives the tweeter only, and the midrange piggy-backs through a mechanical elastic surround. Indeed the CC-SAs ... | |
| Thiel Owners I have gotten the "Sorry" message a dozen times in the past few weeks when routing via google search. I reported to A'gon who says they can't replicate the problem. Sarah says to log in via the A'gon home page > explore > forums. That method... | |
| Thiel Owners jon- in the 1980s there were some battery powered products. They were very clean and all that, but didn't deliver current spurts well enough. Once the storage caps are drained, power out depends on power in. And battery changing is worse than tube... | |
| Thiel Owners We used those cables through the show and took some jabs about the $8,000 cables with the $2000 speakers. But with the master tapes, it was clear that the other cables were introducing degradation, and we wanted to wow the show. That show is obvio... | |
| Thiel Owners Jay - I left Thiel Audio in 1995, so I don't have current brand information. But, my comments may provide some perspective.Jim's method was to work on the speaker, rather than finding a magic synergy of the whole system. In shopping cables, he dev... | |
| Thiel Owners By the way, spruce soundboards keep changing for decades, or centuries (on a log scale). And those played act differently than those not played. I haven't heard whether anybody has much of a handle on why or how, but I haven't heard of anybody who... | |
| Thiel Owners Last Monday I hosted a piano technicians workshop at my Northwind Designworks studio. I had prepared 4 samples of alternatively constructed piano bridge segments (reassessing sonic transmission from string to soundboard - how does that actually wo... |
