| Thiel Owners Jafant, Thiel made subwoofer profiles to match all the Thiel speakers. | |
| Thiel Owners dlcockrum, I believe he wants to use Thiel's own active cross-over. | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo mitch2, underrating the 8 Ohm output to let the lower impedances appear to double is not a new trick. | |
| Affordable electronics to suit Thiel 3.5 speakers teacup, I find your placement of these fine speakers into an entertainment center an anathema. Sort of, like, putting a bowling trophy in front of a Van Gogh.For your purposes find an amp capable of at least 100 Watts into 4 Ohms. You might find s... | |
| Opinions on Thiel CS2? joefama, got it right. Perhaps Thiels most reliable and easiest to drive model, with their smooth 6 Ohm nominal 5 Ohm minimum impedance. Perhaps the last of the Thiel models that really, really needed attention to the treble. Many used c-j tubes w... | |
| Thiel Owners Ports, vents, etc.., augmented output will typically lag in both time and phase as well. | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, I'm not sure what you mean by "depth", but if you are referring to extended bass response, well sort of, but not really. The passive radiator for the most part reduced noise from the port. The port is what extends bass, but not without it... | |
| Threshold S/500 Power Amp or ??? The e series were a tad more powerful, more vivid, less relaxed. | |
| Thiel Owners OK, best of luck to you on whatever you ultimately decide upon. | |
| Thiel Owners LOL, I knew you already preferred the 7.2's over the 5i's, what I was going to offer for consideration is something else you've already said you weren't interested in.Perhaps using Thiel's own SS3 subwoofer(s) instead of also getting the 7.2's wou... | |
| Thiel Owners Theiliste, May I ask if you plan to use the 3.7's and the 7.2's in different rooms, or rotate them in and out of service in the same room? | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Dlcockrum, as I hope my posts have clearly suggested: not from my perspective.:-) | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo charles1dad, the OP originally asked about 3 different amplifiers, later on it was revealed that he was planning on using these amps with the Thiel 3.7's and/or the Theil 7.2's. After that the OP added other amps for consideration. Teeshot reporte... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo charles1dad, interesting that you referenced dlcockrum yet were mute with regard to teeshot's more relative post. The extra power beyond the minimum recommended would only be needed to provide higher dB output for a given room size. In that sensi... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Thiel recommended between 100-400 Watts for the CS5's. In my conversations with JIm Thiel he told me his all power recommendations were based upon quality ss amps that could double down, and that should one choose to use tubes, etc., they should i... |
