Thiel Owners

tom,

Thank you!

My PX05 came configured for the Thiel 2.7 speakers.

My SS2.2 has the same room adjustments as the SS2. I'm aware of the speaker output issue; however, haven't had to worry about it, as I play classical CDs at a reasonable level. (The only comments I get are from my neighbors if I crank up the Verdi Requiem or Berloiz' Te Deom or Requiem.) 

My basic reason for asking:  My children will "inherit"the two-channel stereo system; but they are more into other types of music, and had asked me if the crossover and sub would be "up to it!"  I believe I can tell them "Yes - - as long as you keep the volume at a civilized level."

 I'm content with the present setup, but would like to add another sub - - if I could find a decent one in working order. The SS2 series  apparently  are scarce. 

Thank you again,

george

brayeagle,
What frequency do you cross over from your Thiel 2.7s to your sub?

prof,

I'm using the Thiel PX05 passive crossover to drive the SS2.2.

As I understand it, the PX05 takes the full range signal going the 2.7s and passes the low frequency signal to the 2.2 sub.   There is no high frequency roll-off for the 2.7s. 

The PX05 was configured specifically for the 2.7s. Input to the crossover is via four interconnects  from the amplifier's output terminals..  I'd guess the low-pass point is circa  60-80 cps. The PX05 signal goes to the Sub via an XLR cable.. No LFE input from the preamp.

Thanks George!

George & prof - I think the low-pass 3dB down point should be @ 45Hz, the natural 3dB down point for the 2.7. There is no high pass / low cut filter in the XO, so the sub crosses to the woofer at the natural bottom rollin of the woofer.
