Thiel Owners

brayeagle
I have briefly tried my subwoofers with my 2.7s.  It did add some bottom and depth to the sound (fairly subtly) though it didn't change the character to the way the Joseph speakers sound in the bass.
I've had my subwoofers and an expensive JL Audio crossover since 2017 and it's such a damned hassle to properly add subwoofers I still haven't got around to it. It's continually on my "to do list."
And my interest is waning.  I don't find myself pining for more bass either with the Thiels or the Josephs.

I think that while measurements might not tell all about how an amp sounds, some aspects of sound are quite predictable from measurements.

Perhaps in a vague way. But you either forget that I have actually *heard* this combination of gear or you seek to invalidate my experience. Piss off.

My thanks, also, for your comments re: CS2.7 v. Joseph Perspective. If I were buying new in that price category, the Perspective would be on my short list. And your experience adds weight to my opinion that you need to reach even higher up the price scale to significantly better a Thiel. My guess is that I would have to spend north of $30K to notably better the sound I'm getting with my modded 2.4s.

@beetlemania, No, I haven’t forgotten your demonstration of subjective opinion. I’ve offered an objective counter point.  As has been said; opinion’s are like a part of one’s anatomy, everyone has one . Congratulations, with your closing reply you’ve managed to demonstrate both.

prof,
My sub gets the signal from  a PX05 passive crossover for the 2.7s. I hooked it up, placed the sub between the 2.7s and haven't done anything since, except upgrade the preamp and amplifier.
Music source is an extensive classical CD collection via a Bryston BCD-3 spinner. Relatively few of my CDs have appreciable low bass.
