oblgny - wine serves as an instructive analogy. What layered appreciations are out there!

Indeed we each experience heard input individually. However, I / we noted a broad correlation between what individuals reported and what our lab / theoretical models supported. Agreed, the controversial part is the hearability. Generally speaking ...

Andy, the link doesn't open for me either. Try pasting the link directly into your browser or googling the topic we were discussing and see what you find. The abstract was merely a type sample of the level of investigation being carried out in adv...

michael - Rob sets up PXOs for any classic Thiel back to perhaps 3.6s (mid 90s) for a reasonable fee.guys - regarding passive preamps, there is another un-named factor. The principal load being driven by the source is the connecting cables to the ...

As long as locating the subwoofer doesn't become obvious, you're better and better off to move the crosspoint up to soften the harsh load of the 2.7 bass. Keep working.

Jan - I'm very interested in what you learn. You might consider a higher cut-off frequency. 50Hz is right at the impedance x phase reversal. See the Stereophile review. If you have stereo subwoofers for good signal directionality and can get to 70...

Silvano - thank you very much. I don't travel much anymore - time passes and circumstances change.

andy2 - perhaps cable conductive stabilization is beyond the scope of this forum. But I would nonetheless like to post how such considerations entered the awareness in the development of Thiel Audio's peculiar relationship to the role of the louds...

jon - Our community was not so formal as to have a name or designated ideology. The early 70s were full of societal change and we were part of that. I had been a brother in the Marianist, Catholic teaching order through college engaged in Peace th...

silvanik - in a twist of serendipity, I heard the 3.6's at that show in Milan, visiting Enrico Tricarico, Thiel's Italian distributor and prior football star. I think my visit was in 1992, when the 3.6 was first introduced. I spoke some Italian th...

jon - you hit it on the head. As an enterprise that grew out of an intentional community (commune) in the 1970s, we all felt in our core being that music showed the way to growth in uncharted territory. Everything was changing, youth (yes, we were...

silvanik - in Slovenian your name means forest dweller. Are you a tree hugger?I am. Anyhow, yes a book . . . This forum is the first try I have made to unleash some of these thoughts. I am rearranging my life for the possibility of writing such a ...

michael - regarding the CS7, which was the flagship model with plenty of greatness; and sell cheaply on the used market. 1995 was the time of rapid development of fully in-house drivers. Between the CS6, 7, 3.6 and especially the CS2.3 coax, so mu...

prof - the whole bit of identifying and challenging assumptions is at the core of progress. In a scientific / research based proposition like Thiel Audio, we did it every day to ascertain that we were true to our vision, rather than believing acce...

prof - your philosophical base leaks through. Isn't it a joy to pursue things as far back to first principles as we can? Kierkegaard - Heidegger were my focus. Reveneering with any clamping method would bow the panels inward and not work well. But...
