Thiel Owners

All, is anyone here bidding on that 3.5 EQ? If not, I'll try to snag it for the lab. (Remember the idea of fully balanced EQ with better caps and resistors?)

Wow Tom, you've been around!

I thought the bass on my Hales T5s was excellent, but thought the bass of the CD6 even better (more dense, focused, punchy) as well as the 3.7 and 2.7.

Tom,

Also...after the Hale Transcendence 8's Paul built a new interesting looking flagship speaker, the Alexandra (or Alexandria), which can be seen down the page in this old CES 99 report:

The few people who heard it absolutely raved about it.  But since it never went in to production due to Hales folding soon afterward, it became something of a unicorn. Did you ever hear it?

I finally got around to measuring my room/speaker interactions on my Thiel 2.4s using REW and uploading a convolution filter to roon.  ITS AMAZING!  TIGHTENING UP EVERYTHING.  Imaging if far superior now to what it was before.  Frighteningly good.  Suggest you try it.

prof - I have not heard the Alexandra. I moved to New Hampshire and by the late 90s I was focused on things other than audio.

pw - The room is so often the major culprit in the mix. Thiels are point source emulation and therefore wide dispersion, so room reflections matter more. Also the coherent wavefront tends to stimulate room modes more readily than the slurred wavefronts of higher order speakers. I am a fan of physical room treatment as much as possible. Tell us about REW.
