My measured bass response of Thiel 2.3s

I agree with Hiend2. You may be able to boost the 63 & 50hz readings by moving the speakers closer to the wall and/or moving your listening chair in a foot or so. Did you measure above 1000hz? Nice job!

hi,

Dsigga ... I have a WAF to deal with. She likes them where they are in terms of the overall appearance of the LR. Perhaps I'll move the chair a foot or two, a good suggestion.

Aball ... I know the best thinking about Thiels is ss with lots of watts 200 to 400. The Cary has 80 in the Ultralinear mode and I am using the 4 ohm taps. I did try them with a high current ss amp 230 watts in 8 ohms and 380 into 4 ohms. They certainly could play louder and the bass was thunderous. I however, prefer the tube sound and decieded to use the Cary amp. I know this is contraian but it does sound very good. I can't get 110 db with it but at 85, 90 to 95 db, which is loud for me they sound very good. I listen to jazz and some classic rock and a lot of female vocals. If I was into classical music I think I would need more power because of the dynamic headroom needed.

good listening

Larry

I power my 2.4s with a Manley Stingray ll and the bass goes plenty deep

Thanks! for sharing- stevecham

Manley is a sonic match for Thiel speakers. Happy Listening!

you have a rather large listening space for the CS 2.3 loudspeaker.
What other gear, including cabling, is in your system?
