Thiel Owners

pops,

I know!  It's one reason I've been so shy on putting one of my Thiels up for sale.  Given the fact they seem to have dried up on the used market in terms of availability, it feels like it would be quite a final decision to get rid of my 3.7s.  Unlike, say, Quads or something that you'll always be able to find easily again.

BTW, I contacted Rob Gillum and he has all the drivers for the Thiels, including the 2.7s.  That's good for me as I'm pretty much convinced I won't be giving up these 2.7s.   They sound glorious and look perfect in my room - I'd never find another pair on the ebony finish.  So I may grab a spare coax/woofer/passive radiator for the 2.7s, and if I keep the 3.7s I might do the same for them.  

pops-
there is a pretty good selection on eBay now.
Happy Listening!

Good to see you- prof
Thanks! for sharing your experience with Mr. Rob Gillum.
Happy Listening!

hi thiel owners .

i just try a parasound hca3500 with my thiel cs6 . the result was quite good . high was detail and laid back , mid was thick , and especially the low was crazy as hell . i never imagine parasound will do this great with thiel . any of u using parasound ? i currently using bryston 7bst at this moment .

by the way i blown my mcs1 tweeter again . thinking not to do it at thiel because it just contiune to blown .sad.......

regards

I use a Parasound A52 5-ch. amp to power 4 PSB Imagine Minis (surrounds) and a Thiel MCS1 (centre).

As for the blown tweeter (again), if you've fried the voice coil, that sounds like a clipping problem in the amp—if I understand the physics correctly.

I had the simular problem with the center stage ,
toe-in solved my problem , it took listening to classical music to fine tune it, the speakers are pointing about 16 inches out from each ear.  
Speaker placement and toe-in are personal and a great discussion .
the Prof has his speakers 8 feet apart and sits less than 7 feet away
and no toe-in,
you have yours 80 inches and sit 100 inches away , toe-in ?

I've tried to get into Rush , a few songs maybe but I just can't.
You have created an interest in Pierre Bensusan after listening to  allmusic's snippets of him, never heard of him before so thanks.

I had a very insightful workshop with Pierre, on right-hand guitar technique, decades ago.  To me, Rush only sounded good (particularly the drums) when Terry Brown was producing.  Basically, anything before Signals (1982).

The tweeters are pointing ~30 inches outside each ear, so maybe ~5-10 degrees toe-in?  Cannot be bothered to do the trigonometry.

I started from the Cardas' room node formula and adjusted from there.  I could incorporate the near field equilateral triangle as well, and move the seating closer, but then I'd be sitting too close to the projection screen (120" wide).  Everything's a compromise.

Cheers,
Warren
