My measured bass response of Thiel 2.3s


hi,

At present my living room ( 24X14X8 ) system consists of a Rega Apollo, a Cary SLI-80 and Thiel 2.3 speakers. The speakers are 10 feet apart and the listening position is 10 feet away. I used a Radio Shack digital sound pressure meter and Stereophiles test disk vol I. The 1000 htz warble tone was normalized at 80 db at the listening position

1000 htz +- 0
200 +- 0
160 +- 0
125 + 4 db
100 + 2 db
80 + 5 db
63 - 5 db
50 - 7 db
40 + 2 db
31.5 + 1 db
25 - 12 db

I was surprised on how deep it can go being relatively undepowered by the standards of most Thiel users and using a tubed amp. I must say I really like the sound coming from these speakers.

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?
