Thiel Owners

^jimthiel, you hit exactly upon what I thought would be the main concern: driver/total loudspeaker correction. I would have guessed that with the co-axial drivers it might not have been too much of a concern with their mechanical cross-overs. The obvious advantage for those models with bass eq's is appealing of course. Perhaps a fusion of active and passive, or just going digital (which could probably reduce developmental labor hours) might be an option. Of course such an option could provide adjustable bass eq for one's actual room rather than perhaps an otherwise unused anechoic standard.

tomthiel, I’m in complete agreement with your criterion, demonstration of proper square wave and step response would be required.

I could imagine a tri-amped Thiel with a 3.7’s mid/tweeter and 2 3.7’s 10" woofers above and below as in the MCS except in an hourglass shaped floor standing cabinet with separately adjusted/amplified
woofers to correct for floor reinforcement differences, designed to be placed directly against the back wall, or if particular room dimensions permitted in the corners then massaged with individual driver DSP room correction. Oh and it might be nice if the minimal impedance was kept to a minimum of 4 Ohms. The tube guys would like that! Heck, with the prospect of paying for six channels of amplification so would the ss guys.

The DEQX and Lyngdorf products look interesting.
