| Thiel Owners Does anyone else have Outriggers installed on ANY Thiel speaker? I would like to know the distance between the front 2 spikes (center to center), to know which models the pair I just bought will fit. | |
| Thiel Owners Breyeagle and TomThiel "I have a Thiel SS2.2 sub for the 2.7s, using a PX05 passive crossover, specifically tweaked for the 2.7s. It really helps..." I use a Thiel SS2.2 sub for my CS3.7s, and a PX05. I can barely tell the difference with or witho... | |
| Thiel Owners Ronkent______I just looked at my Paypal history, and, yes indeed, I did pay you for the Sound Anchor stands on the 29th. But, I probably misled you by telling you about the Outriggers I bought on Ebay (without knowing which speakers they fit). And... | |
| Thiel Owners RonkentI thought I bought the Sound Anchor stands. My Paypal shows that I did. Did you receive my payment? | |
| Thiel Owners GENERAL QUESTION TO EVERYONE:I bought a pair of genuine Thiel Outrigger stands, but the Ebay seller doesn't know what model they fit. The front two spikes are 13-3/4 inches apart, from center to center . Does anyone know which model(s) speaker... | |
| Thiel Owners I contacted ronkent to buy the stands, since I own a pair of 2.0 and a pair of 2.2. I am really looking forward to using them. | |
| Thiel Owners I wasn't clear about the O3a and CS3.5 tweeters in my post above. The Audax/Polydax was used in the O3a. They were plentiful, but they are getting more and more difficult to find. Spica and Snell are two manufacturers that used them also, and ther... | |
| Thiel Owners Harrylavo I have a few extra tweeters and midranges for Thiel O3a and CS3.5. I hesitate to sell any of them, because they are so difficult to find. If you love these speakers and have a few spare parts, would YOU sell them? So, I think we should s... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielThank you very much for your synopsis of the 2.x models: their differences among themselves, benefits compared to the 3.x, your preferences and history with them, and why so many people like them.Most of the followers of this thread don’t ... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielWould you mind telling us about each 2-series model, what the differences are, and why you chose one over the others to design your first kit?Also, why would anyone want a CS2.x, when (to my thinking) a CS3.x model is bigger and better, fo... | |
| Thiel Owners harrylavoWith Thiel CS3.5 speakers available now for only $400 or $500, I collect them for their drivers. I think using original drivers is the only way to keeping them sound as they should. One time, I bought a pair of CS3.5 on Ebay, and asked th... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielI am very excited you added that "sway effects" (your words) influence imaging of the higher frequencies. This makes so much sense that, in the words of a Thiel -- the ultimate name for speaker phase and time coherence and their effect on ... | |
| Thiel Owners I would like to explain the basic principle behind Outriggers or spikes under the speakers, so that each of us can answer the question of "need" for ourselves. Basically, when a woofer’s motor structure (this means the magnet and voice coil) appli... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielOh yes, now I remember the HP review of the O3a. After I heard Thiels for the first time, at Havens and Hardesty, I stumbled upon that recent issue of TAS and read HP's review of them. What I remember most was that his choice of words desc... | |
| Thiel Owners Oh, by the way, that first pair of Thiel speakers I ever heard, at Havens & Hardesty, was the O3a, predecessor to the CS3, CS3.5, CS3.6, etc. I wonder what year that was, probably early 1980s.Thiel was as-yet off the audiophile map at that tim... |
