Thiel Owners

hi Jafant,  here is the link to the FM.   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9R3TIM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1                                               it is outstanding and i like all the songs except one (11 i think).  thanks for the tip on Rush.  do you have a favorite album as i do not have any at this moment.    another really great album is Mr. Lucky by John Lee Hooker.

here is the report from the man who got my 2.7's.   his system will need a lot of work but at least he now has speakers to let him hear the changes being made.

Good afternoon.

 

I got them unpacked and setup late yesterday afternoon. Listened for about an hour or so to the same tracks plus some others. The one difference I am hearing is more air, more open in the mids and upper registers. But the biggest difference is in the bottom end. It is much more solid, with better depth and better control (I made no changes to the sub, still crossed over at 50hz). I told you how much I didn't like the bass before on the live "Hotel California', too much, too boomy with the 1.6's. The 2.7's sound very good on that track, they have great presence and great control of that bottom end. No longer bothersome. Similar to how they sounded in your room.  

 

My wife doesn't have a critical ear, her only comment was that they are bigger, but not as a complaint, just a comment. ;-)  

 

I think I will start looking at amplifiers and subs for my next upgrades in the next year or so. Which model(s) of REL would you recommend based on my room size 14x20x8?

Here are some of my current favorites:
Paul Simon-stranger to stranger
Doors- l.a.woman
Johnny Cash - American recordings
Katoh,Stagg- masters of shakuhachi
Arne Domnerus- Antiphone blues

Thank You - ronkentlooks like the FM disc is an import, I find most import CD(s), do sound excellent indeed. A fave RUSH album? No, I like all of the 70's up to the mid 80's. If you do not own "Chronicles "2-CD set, this is an excellent place to start, unless, you want those individual titles.
Happy Listening!

Nice list - thielrulesbig Doors fan here as well. L.A. Woman was the curtain call for the band and a killer album.  Happy Listening!
