| Thiel Owners Another consideration is the superior time and phase superiority of the Thiels sealed box bass response over the ported, vented, etc. bass output of many subwoofers. Typically the bigger the driver the better the response gets at the lowest 1st oc... | |
| Thiel Owners Richardp01, This is fourth time this week I've tried to respond to your question with attention it deserves. Every other time I lost the contents just before sending. Oy! In the mean time your follow up posts answered a lot of questions I had for ... | |
| Thiel Owners Oops, not Esq, rather: eqdang spell check | |
| Thiel Owners ^^Or, get a second Esq and have both converted to mono balanced units. | |
| Thiel Owners ^tape loop | |
| Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment.. ^fourth-order, 24 dB, Linkwitz-Riley | |
| Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment.. ^The Aerial's don't use 1st order crossovers. | |
| Thiel 3.5 equalizer advice ^CS 3's had two pairs of binding posts on each cabinet, the 3.5's only one pair. | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues I'm really taken back. I too have had excellent customer service from c-j for some minor repairs in the past. If things are as reported, and though surprised, I'm not suggesting that they are or are not, I can't help but believe that c-j will do t... | |
| Thiel Owners Richardp01, I'd suggest getting that 3.5 eq back asap, then setting it to the 40 Hz setting with your sub, if you find the sub that helpful. I'll say it again, the current market value of these speakers seriously belies the performance level. To m... | |
| Thiel Owners Richardp01, IMHO, the 2.4's and 2.7's will be even smoother on soprano voices and massed strings. But, those later 2 series will not be as coherent or have the same depth and overall quality of bass as the 3.5's, and require much more expensive am... | |
| Thiel Owners dcockrum, I agree, and am also grateful that Rob is still available to offer his appreciated service. Still, $400 seems a tad rich for a rebuilt driver that might have cost about that much new. What drives that cost; time, materials? I would have ... | |
| Thiel Owners richardp01, Your points are not without merit, but when it comes to the 3.5's the cost to value considerations become a bit convoluted. At their current asking prices the 3.5's might be one of the greatest audio values of all time. It would cost s... | |
| Thiel Owners $400! Sure the speakers are worth it, but I sure miss the old days at Thiel. Thiel's service was nonpareil. Back then if the drivers weren't obviously abused Shari Graham would only ask that you pay for the shipping there, the rest would be grat... | |
| Thiel Owners richardp01, It is highly (!!!) unlikely that the domes collapsed from use, more likely from careless cleaning or incidental contact. Small dimples on the speaker driver domes are often inconsequential. The midrange surround tear can be tricky, a... |
