| Thiel Owners If I may: that’s the ear hieght(+/-?) of the typical seated listening position. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? "...don't sweat the tech details..."I disagree. Without being cognizant of the tech details, one might end up chasing their own tail. With the vast numbers of possible system combinations available, sweating the tech details can streamline the opt... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Objectively and (I'd gamble the consensus would agree) subjectively speakers, vary in more ways and by greater degrees than any other component. Perhaps more so than all other components combined. Speakers vary more with different listening posit... | |

| Thiel Owners Stereophile can't or won't measure Thiel's at the appropriate 3 meters. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here ^More restricted, but not "head-in-the-vice" restricted like some beamy ESL's. I suspect it might be due at least in part to Dunlavy's preferred angled placement. Perhaps, with a higher and denser soundstage than the Thiel's. | |
| Thiel Owners May I offer the advice that: one should not necessarily assume that because a marque gains a reputation for robust separates that the same badge on a smaller scale integrated will perform the same as those separates. And visa versa, the performanc... | |
| Thiel Owners ^I have no knowledge of it's prowess, but a power only amp with a larger power supply and higher voltage rails would appear more promising. | |
| Thiel Owners Stereophile's measurements suggest that the AX-5 prefers to work above 4 Ohms. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here ^Agreed. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here Prof, agree with re: to the MBL's!And, of course the Thiel's!I'd offer for consideration John Dunlavy's designs. |
