| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? samzx12I apologize for assuming that you haven't tried tube rolling .My enthusiasm for the Thiel 2.7 speakers is something that I can't hide .Have you tried a 12bh7 or 12av7 tube inplace of the 12au7 ?Try asking the question about improving bass r... | |

| Thiel Owners TomAbout your hunch concerning dry and moist air and sizzle sound ,I have noticed that everything sounds smoother and sweeter when it's raining or high humidity, so you might be on to something .I always suspected it had something to do with the t... | |

| Thiel Owners dsperTry moving your speakers closer together to 8 feet apart and maybe experiment with moving your seat closer .Rob | |

| Thiel Owners yysantabarbaraNice catch or should I say good ears ,but strange because the coax speakers polarity are clearly markedwith the red and black wires going from the solder pad to the speaker ,and if the crossover is like the 2.7 the negative / black ... | |
| Thiel Owners yyzantabarbaraI'd like to throw my 2 cents in , not about amps because of the cost but about room acoustics .For a very reasonable price you could try replacing the 4 inch thickpanels you are using for the side reflection with 1 or 2 inch thick on... | |
| Thiel Owners usaltusIn making my speaker cables I used Kimber Kable spades .If you are thinking of using spades they are easy to connect to the cable and don't have to be tightened with a wrench at the binding posts . | |
