| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I haven't been to shows recently, but back when they were marketing this gear under the TacT label, every show I went to had some, albeit minimal, room treatment during their demonstrations. | |
| Newly acquired Thiel CS2 speaker.....HELP? ^By “...too hot...”, I meant to elevated high frequency or bright sounding. | |
| Newly acquired Thiel CS2 speaker.....HELP? I'd suggest trying the DBX in both impedance settings, but I suspect the CS 2's will work better with the higher impedance setting.:https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs2-loudspeaker-measurementsWhile easy to drive, the CS2's can be quite s... | |
| Thiel Owners ^Wow! The ingenuity is a marvel. Your dedication is admired and of course appreciated. | |
| Thiel Owners ^Kudos to them for using a neutral environment. Too bad they don't measure at distances that allow for proper driver integration, time accuracy or actual listening positions. | |
| Thiel Owners ^...Or a treble roll off. Which is why I think the smaller models sometimes can sound a bit tilted up compared to some of the competition. The more full range (and having the room to properly accommodate that can not be over emphasized) Thiel's ar... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom tomthiel. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!I think you nailed it regarding time. I’ve come to believe that like other things in audio some people are more sensitive to such things. And even if statistical data suggests that many if not most don’t seem to apprec... | |
| Thiel Owners There are other Krells (though not all!), with more and less power that are suitable. Holco suggested the Audio-GD Master 3, with which I have absolutely no knowledge or experience, but certainly appears to be worthwhile of investigation. Not all ... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel brings up a good point about "sweet spot" or best value. For instance my previous declaration in favor of the Bryston 3B (within appropriate matching with older Thiels) was based upon such a criterion. It's not necessarily one the best so... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof, "...most audiophiles..." aren’t running steady close to 2 Ohm loads, or in my case a steady 4 Ohm load with a 12 dB bass boost eq (albeit with an 8 Ohm impedance bump up at that region).What might seem like copious power into 2 Ohms when com... | |

| Thiel Owners I caution those that plan to use Thiel floor standers for nearfield listening. All Thiel floor standers need at least 8' from speaker to listener for proper driver integration and ergo time coherence, a classic Thiel hallmark. | |

| Thiel Owners Tomthiel, Because Thiel; I expected a technical explanation. I completely understand the dynamics of business and personal decisions. I didn't mean to pry, but your candor is appreciated. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, sorry if I pulled on a scab. |
