| Thiel Owners The DAC came in late yesterday. It's setup & playing now...but the damage is done. | |
| Thiel Owners I'm having a very bad day. I put on some music this morning and realized cello sounded raspy on the right. A few checks & I discovered the woofer in my right CS7 is 'blown'. The large voicecoil is extended and stuck outside the magnetic gap. I... | |
| Thiel Owners Wednesday. I'm traveling and miss my system. | |
| Thiel CS7 experiment @ oenerooda Did you ever try this dipole arrangement? My wife asked me why I was measuring our living room. When I told her about the idea of TWO pairs of speakers, pulled away out into the room she just stared daggers at me. She barely tol... | |
| Thiel Owners Those large-value electrolytics would only be found in the lpf of the woofer, right? My previous set of speakers had the XO located in a false bottom compartment. I always wondered why the designer chose such a distance/long wires over the mor... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm very interested in the details & development of the outboard crossover upgrade and/or notch filter projects. I assume my CS7 would benefit from that. | |
| Thiel Owners Hopefully to someone who really appreciates amazing imaging & how "boxless" a box speaker can sound. | |
| Thiel Owners There must be something to this idea of moving the XO away from the driver's into it's own enclosure. I have another set of speakers, maybe 30 years old, with the XO hidden in a false bottom. I'm sure it's cheaper & easier to just mount it b... | |
| Thiel Owners and then dealing with the spacing / time alignment with the appropriate monitors with now less intrusive DSP might be best. Can DSP "fix" this? Would it slice up sound into tiny frequency slices & reorient them to all arrive at our ears at... | |
| Thiel Owners I think I found a workable solution to connecting cables with straight banana plugs to the down-facing binders on our Thiels. Rummaging around through my audio junk box I found a set of four gold spade lugs I had bought off Amazon. These are very... | |
| Thiel Owners Can anyone recommend an "audiophile solution" to using straight banana plugs on the bottom-mounted binding posts? I know I can cobble something together at the hardware store, or from Amazon, but what have you all done? I just laid my speakers ... | |
| Thiel Owners @Tom-- After your reply on 6/20 I sent a message thru the website contact form. No answer a week later. I'll try calling. | |
| Thiel Owners @Tom, Are new grilles available for the CS7? Mine are looking a bit shabby and I'd like to consider a change to beige. | |
| Thiel Owners Yes thank you jonandfam for the Way Back Machine link! | |
| Thiel Owners My Thiels dominate my 11 x 13 basement room but the sound is glorious. Most of my gear is 40 years old: Oracle TT, Monster Alpha 1 ctg, PS IV preamp. I upsized my VSP Labs amp (150wpc) for an Adcom 5800 (250wpc) that pushes these speakers to sati... |
