| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! Do you hear live music much? | |
| Impedance - The most ignored and useful measurement tool @re-lar-kvothe , “ 2 Ohm stable” while better than nothing is really more market speak than of much value. It only suggests that the amp won’t go into oscillation when presented with a 2 Ohm load. It does not suggest how much power and/or at how m... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Sometimes listen to live feeds from NY on Sundays. | |
| Thiel Owners Hello, to all here on this thread. I want to give a shout out to @Duramax747. Heed his advice; as it is without doubt some of the best posted here! | |
| Thiel Owners @largeexpensiveboxes , for the CS 6's look for amplification capable of a minimum of 400 Watts into 2 Ohms. Depending on your room and desired listening levels more power could be beneficial. For most people in most rooms 800 Watts into 2 Ohms wou... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? No. | |
| Converting stereo single ended to balanced mono? I’m not sure if there might be some grounding issues. The source has a three prong plug, the two equalizers each have a two prong plug, amplification has 3 prong plug(s). | |
| Converting stereo single ended to balanced mono? Considering that the input would already have one inverted signal, I was wondering if just using one XLR with the the ground of two RCAs tied to one pin and just a positive leg running to one RCA and the negative running to a second RCA, and then... | |
| Thiel Owners @jon_5912, I’m glad you’re enjoying your CS 3.7’s. Good news!; I’m confident you'll appreciate them even more with a better source: https://www.noteburner.com/youtube-music-tips/youtube-music-audio-quality.html#:~:text=To%20put%20it%20simply,%20i... | |
| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? I can't imagine any good reason for using an autoformer in modern high quality solid state amplification. | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel CS3.6 loudspeaker Measurements | Stereophile.com Thiel CS3.7 loudspeaker Measurements | Stereophile.com None of the above reccomended amps are spec'd to deal with the actual load of these loudspeakers. | |
| Cool feature on Pass X260.8 Mono Amps Now which one is accurately metering? | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update Not everyone agrees that the newer models are better or even as good as the original Ohm’s with true bending wave Walsh drivers. | |
| Thiel Owners @duramax747, I look forward to more, especially images. That you were using CS 5i’s is of special interest, as I’ve been a long time admirer of that particular model. | |
| Hunting for an integrated for thiels cs 2.3. Anthem, Hegel, Bel Canto? Few integrates qualify. You should consider a minimum of 400 Watts into 2 Ohms, and double that would probably be preferable. Claims of “stability into X Ohms” don’t count. |
