| Best amp for kappa 8.1 While still beyond that price range, I think one of the few contenders and perhaps the least expensive of them: some Krell’s. Try and find an appropriate one that has been properly recapped. If not, it might need it soon. Can be rather expensive, ... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, as usual an excellent response. I do think that 40 Hz is not too much to ask of a 10" woofer. Of course, as has been discussed before these suggestions could double one’s amplifier budget. And, with 1st order crossovers there would be q... | |
| Thiel Owners With all due (and sincere) respect for tomthiel, see my thoughts on removing the eq from the 3.5's here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-owners-2?page=12 | |
| Thiel Owners @thielrules, Thanks again. Excellent information. The price of the drivers doesn’t seem unreasonable. The required cabinet work might be more than I bargained for. Not to mention the crossover tweaking.@sljhigb, the original 3.5’s mid’s 50 Watt r... | |
| Thiel Owners @thielrules, Thank you! What kind of expense would one meet to retrofit the co-axial's to the 3.5's? | |
| Thiel Owners At the risk of appearing redundant; I still wonder if the 3.5's baffle could be modified to accept the co-axial midrange/tweeter from the 3.7's. Then we would have a genuine Thiel replacement and the advantages of a lobing fix. Sort of a time reve... | |
| Are Speakers Like Cask-Conditioned Beer? Indistinguishable. | |
| Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer? I seem to recall the later old TacT gear allowed for user customizable settings that varied with the volume control setting. | |
| Thiel Owners I’m guessing you meant un-equalized CS 1.2’s?Checking the eq is a good suggestion. I’ve never had a problem with mine, but in the last 30 years there have been some reports of eq issues. Your available power is just about the minimum suggested for... | |
| Thiel Owners ^You shouldn’t have issues with bass depth. Bass volume can be a bit shy. Do you have the eq set up correctly? Unless you’re amplifier and/or room compromised, bass should be a strong suit. | |
| Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos? Because the shoe fits. | |
| I can prove your room is bad @erik_squires ,.....That and driver integrations, or perhaps more accurately the lack there of. | |
| Thiel Owners @erik_squires, I think you might have me confused with someone else; I never made such an assertion. I was merely replying to your response to my 06-07-2020 post on this thread. | |
| Speakers that are a great value! On a performance per dollar basis , I never fail to be impressed by the Vandy 2’s. | |
| Thiel Owners @ctsooner , @erik_squires , et al, Please see the post by the late Roy Johnson dated 05-09-2005,12th paragraph:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/first-order-crossovers-pros-and-cons |
