With all due (and sincere) respect for tomthiel, see my thoughts on removing the eq from the 3.5's here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-owners-2?page=12 |
unsound - points well taken. Thanks for your linked reminders. And a comment here. My thought was more from the perspective of the extreme difficulty of producing so much bass with the dynamic range and extension possible with today's digital techniques without running out of steam somewhere, especially at the lower reaches of the midrange driver. My hypothetical suggestion would include placing the stereo subwoofer pair to create proper time arrival with the main speakers. The main speakers would be relieved of their heavy chore of reaching all the way to 20 (or 40) Hertz. All that said, I really love the 3.5s I recently got via this thread, and do consider them, like others here, to be Jim's quintessential work in many ways. I also apply that to the (unsuccessful) CS5 short series. Of note is that those speakers are truly minimum phase transducers, all the way to the deepest bass - and the sound underscores it. More later. A guest just arrived. |
