| Oppo Ceasing production I believe that Oppo has stated that they will continue to support their products for warranty, service and updates, but owners of previous models to the last generation should expect the rate of such updates to decrease. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, I’m in complete agreement with your criterion, demonstration of proper square wave and step response would be required. I could imagine a tri-amped Thiel with a 3.7’s mid/tweeter and 2 3.7’s 10" woofers above and below as in the MCS exce... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon_5912, you beat me too it as I was keying. LOL. | |
| Thiel Owners ^jimthiel, you hit exactly upon what I thought would be the main concern: driver/total loudspeaker correction. I would have guessed that with the co-axial drivers it might not have been too much of a concern with their mechanical cross-overs. The ... | |
| Thiel Owners It it would seem to me that if one would consider outboard cross-overs then the option of using active cross-overs would seem like a worthy consideration? | |
| Thiel Owners Beetlemania, first let me thank you for your informative updates.For those of us with older Thiel’s let me say concern over failing caps, etc. is of primary importance.Keep up the good work. | |
| Thiel Owners Yes or nay doesn’t work for me. It depends on the form factor. I would think that cross-over updates might be more urgent for older models as their cross-overs are likely to be needed (due to age) as opposed to newer models that have plenty of lif... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream JR The the above mentioned output is at the high setting. Not enough for full output of some amps. Heck, it’s not even up to red book standard. It would be a shame to waste paid for Watts. | |
| Audible Illusions...GREAT SERVICE slowhand, that's nice to see....but it'll take a lot(!) more of such reporting before I consider buying their gear. I've never even seriously considered their stuff, due to their reputation. Hopefully that will happen. Sometimes it takes a long ti... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream JR The Direct Stream Jr.'s maximum output voltage is:1.3 Vrms Single ended2.6 V BalancedThat might not be enough for some amplifiers to enable full power output. | |
| Oppo 205 for TV viewing? I would imagine that if the TV or cable box is connected to the Oppo, that the DACs in the Oppo might be superior to those built into the TV or cable box. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Is it possible that when the speakers are closer to the wall, that though the room correction might be increased, it might be done in such a manner that actual amplifier power output is decreased? | |
| Thiel Owners Tomthiel, thank you for your prompt response. I can’t help but wonder if more traditional less high, 17” ( or 1/2 size X 2) with available rack mount wings, component style cases that could fit on a typical rack might appeal to more individuals wh... | |
| Thiel Owners Yeah, I'm not sure Thiel's would typically need such large cases for cross-overs, except perhaps for the CS5's. Perhaps something that resembled typical components might be found more acceptable to some?If external cross-overs were to be considere... | |
| Thiel Owners Gee, I thought J. Gordon Holt and Stereophile in general have been quite flattering of Thiel's products. Here is the review of the previously mentioned CS 3's:https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/684cs3/index.htmlLarry Archibald had used ... |
