| Thiel Owners yeti- I don't have torque values, but I do have some thoughts. Wood products (MDF) hold screws well against vibration; more exotic baffle materials require threaded inserts. I don't know the 1.6. Metal to metal threads are prone to vibration creep... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - bummer. I am not a doctor, but I have been paying attention and know something about the territory. I suggest addressing vitamin B, which regulates and supports neurological processes. The B complex is quite complex - a practitioner may hel... | |
| Thiel Owners Dan - go for the CS7.2 if you can.Regarding your view window. Consider "Zen View" from Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language". The large view might be even more enjoyable as separated zen views. Put the speakers where you want them, possibly... | |
| Thiel Owners Dan, I don't have a buy recommendation, but I might add some perspective. The 2.7 is the newest design and shares the wavy plate coax with the 3.7 - which is Jim's world-class, swan-song breakthrough. A company could be built on that driver. That ... | |
| Thiel Owners jay - I suppose folks know that Thiel, with its nuts and bolts x no bullshit approach, started every model with serial number 1, which was mated with number 2 , all matched pairs were odd-low.We kept the design prototypes. My 2.2s are -3 / -4 (fi... | |
| Thiel Owners andy - your 2.4s are Lexington made with point to point wiring and 4-9s coils and domestic / european caps. I would consider them superior to later 2.4s with Chinese-made crossovers. I don't know the changeover date, but yours are Lex-made. | |
| 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 ... |
