Thiel Owners
Tom, I don't any info on the original Vifa 3.5, here is the link to the Madisound website / product page for the Scanspeak speaker. I don't have the info for the original, maybe someone more literate in these things could chime in. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-4-woofers/scanspeak-discovery-12w/8524g-4.5-fiberglass-cone-woofer/ |
Bluetone - please pardon me, I hadn't remembered that the original 3.5 was from Scanspeak. The most likely source of comparative data would be from Madisound. Can you get a datasheet on the original 3.5 midrange from them? If so, then we could compare the two and there are folks on this forum who might propose valid XO compensations. As far as I know, Rob doesn't have the original driver specs, which were lost in the ownership transfer. For my part, I am working with a user who is providing information for me to reconstruct a 3.5 crossover schematic, which will serve as a platform on which to build. |
ketchup Much Thanks! for citing a portion of your Audio journey. It has been said many times that a Thiel speaker is an Apogee or Magnepan with Bass.A long time ago I wanted an Apogee Slant 8 model. It was heavily criticized for not having enough Bass output. The ribbon/stat midrange, tweeter panels sounded beautiful to my ears. I could not get into the sound of a Maggie nor Martin Logan though. Happy Listening! |
