What are these speakers that came with my home worth?
I'll hazard a guess that the original buyer put some serious thought into how this would all fit it to your new space. Perhaps you might consider just keeping it all. I'll also hazard a guess that you like music?

@tomthiel, it appears that you’d settled on a path. That is most encouraging. The models you’d decided to start with are perhaps closest to my heart. Though I must admit that Jim’s last  co-axial drivers certainly have their appeal. Do you think y... 
Looking to improve CD playback
Heck, I didn’t think the sound direct from those Arcam players was too shabby.

@tomthiel, I understand only too well.

@tomthiel. Too bad about the CS 2's. From time to time I see reasonably nice examples being offered for sale for about a couple of hundred bucks. Shari once told me that they were Thiel's most reliable product. The sensitivity being a fairly reaso...

@cousinbillyl, While I can neither confirm nor deny your deduction regarding OCD and audio time sensitivity, I do believe that your onto something. I have come to the conclusion that though for the most part that we may all basically hear similarl...

Why does streaming need to be so complex
I’m hoping “5G” will simplify streaming. Perhaps eliminating the need for “Cores” and permitting cloud storage.

@tomthiel, Of course I am most interested in the 3.5 mods!Would these baffle mods go so far as to wave guides? I would imagine that baffle manipulation might mitigate lobing?I found it interesting that both Jim Bau and John Dunlavy in their much l...

@tomthiel, your actually pursuing what I have from time to time briefly considered. Bravo!Years ago, when he was then demonstrating the then new CS 5's; I questioned Jim as to why he didn't use a more tapered narrower baffle, he told me that he wo...

@tomethiel, I'm sure you'll do a fine job. I think have more of an issue with the concept description than the actual work. After your experience with Dunlavy, what do you think of using soft surfaces instead of hard surfaces on the baffles?
