| Thiel Owners TomPlugging the pass thru holes for the speaker wires solved the mystery of why when I turned up the volume the mid and upper range frequencies became overpowering .The magic has returned .I was focusing and blaiming the sound unbalance on the in... | |
| Thiel Owners TomAgain I have to say thank you , your knowledge , experience and insightis valued and appreciated by all Thiel owners .I remember you telling us that Toyota approached Thiel with the thought of using Thiel speakers in Toyota cars , your stories ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You Tom ThielI wish I had known about the findings by Thiel before I tried experimenting with wool batting ,so with the knowledge you have shared I will give up any thought about trying to use wool , especially since the 2.7 doesn't have a s... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemaniaUpdate on the wool quilting batting ,basically a total failure .No matter how much I used and compressed in the mid/tweetercabinet the very high piercing notes came thru ,in the bass it seemed to muddy up the upper bass .While it is gr... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagleGeorge Congratulations , 97 years old , wow and you're still listening to the music .Keep up the good living .Rob | |
| Thiel Owners The wool quilting batting is very light ,so I learned that it is to light and I ended up filling the back halfof the coaxial with the origninal fiber glass and the front with the wool I originally was using .I changed because after installing the ... | |
| Thiel Owners Wow the level of expertise of Thiel DIY'ers is amazing .Thank you @stspur for your impression of Mills resistors with them being your first upgrade . They are next on my list .A correction about the wire used in the Tennessee CS2.7 ,after replaci... | |
| Thiel Owners dhoff01I try to measure everything from or to the tweeter on my 2.7s ,speakers are 8ft apart and 8ft 6 inches from my ears 31 inches from front wall and 32 inches from side wall with 1/2 inch toe in .Listening height is 36 inches .I just recently ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks TomI am have a hard time finding " replacements " for the Topmay caps ,I found AVS makes tantalums in the values needed and the are low ERS , so I was just wondering .We talked about using 4 100uf Rob | |
| Thiel Owners 2 questions Has anybody had experience with Tantalum electrolytic capacitors ?And would moving the bass crossover on the 3.6 ( or other models )up to the chamber of the passive radiator have any effect ?ThanksRob | |
| Thiel Owners Tom & BeetlemaniaThank you for experimenting with the parallel speaker cable configuration , using Tom's finding I moved my cables from 1 1/2" to 4"s ( as far apart as possible ) and heard or perceived a difference in front to back sound stag... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You theaudiotweakI've already ordered some Mills resistors for the tweeter to test to see how difficult it will be to remove the old ones from all that glue .I'm doing the wire first so I can install fastons for the wiring so the boards can ... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthe 400 topmay is in parallel with a 15uf Erse and a 1uf Clarity ,erikThanks but the Mundorf does not have the value needed ,I have also thought of 4 Erse 100uf pulse-X caps .Finding Replacement Topmay caps is not easy .But first things first ... | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemaniaYou have seen one of my obstacles ,one possible option is 2 Solen 200uf 400v large but the 400 is at the bottom of the board ,Another is a Clarity TC 400uf 400v very large .I'm going to have to do a lot of measuring this project is go... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom & BeetleI am Happy to hear that you hear positive affects from the parallel configuration , I will try seperating them more than the 2"s I have them now .Thank you Tom for your advise on placing resistors parallel ,there will be 18 resist... |
