| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, updates for the 3.5’s is outstanding news. Bravo! | |
| Thiel Owners @dinopau, I haven't actually tried this, but you might be able to work around the Thiel 3.5's eq with a Roon Core, though I think you'll need one with an i7 processor chip in order to take advantage of the eq capabilities. I'd strongly recommend t... | |
| Thiel Owners @thielrules, The 3.5's midrange is much sturdier than you might be suggesting. Thiel recommended (depending on model year) between 40 or 50 and 250 Watts per channel for the 3.5's. That's for an 8 Ohm amplifier. Into the Thiel 3.5's 4 Ohm load wi... | |

| Thiel Owners @Pwhinson, a first order cross-over might be the only cross-over capable of time and phase coherence. The single driver Quad ESL 63’s and the quasi-multi driver Ohm Walsh, etc., did it without an electrical cross-over. Even with a first order cro... | |
| Thiel Owners The larger Maggie’s have multiple drivers, the largest Maggie’s have multiple panels. | |
| Thiel Owners Cross-overs alone don’t make for a time and phase coherent loudspeaker. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? High efficiency or perhaps more correctly high sensitivity unto itself is an admirable attribute. High sensitivity can play louder, tends to allow lower amplifier distortion, reduce power requirements and ergo reduce cost,size, weight and heat. Hi... | |
| Thiel Owners Why would lower numbers be any nicer than higher numbers during the Jim Thiel era? | |
| Thiel Owners @ronkent, I too have been steadily using Thiels for over 30 years. I never considered myself a "headbanger", and as I've said before, ultimate volume levels is a low priority for me. Still, it's a relevant aspect and I'm confident that Jim Thiel g... | |
| Thiel Owners @Beetlemania, I’ll say this one more time. IIt’s not about ultimate volume levels!It’s about dealing with impedance!Look at the graphs of distortion levels in the previously posted links.Your correct, if it was about ultimate volume levels, I’d ha... | |
| Thiel Owners Perhaps some are confused about the impedance/sensitivity relationship.Thiel like many other loudspeaker companies rates their sensitivity as 2.83V* / 1 M. This can be confusing. With each halving of impedance one can subtract about 3 dB of sensit... | |
| Thiel Owners @Beetlemania. Once again, it’s not about ultimate volume levels, but rather the ability to provide the power into the actual impedance loads of the loudspeakers.I never meant to single out anyone in particular. Just the opposite, I’m suggesting th... | |
