Thiel Owners

Concerning Audio Consultants:
I was just there on Friday. There is not much left, and what is left can now be had for 35% off. I don’t recall seeing a pair of 2.4s when last there, and I don’t think they have been bothering to keep the used list up to date, but if interested in something,  it certainly wouldn’t hurt to give them a call.  I also saw a number of demo items that are definitely not on the list.

they close forever on 12/21

It seems like I've made lots of mistakes using that word "forever".  

@jazzman7, these just showed up in the last day or two.  These same goofballs are offering a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozarts for 4498.  I bought a pair of Mozart grands for <500 when Best Buy dropped the line a while back.  I realized how ridiculous the VA's were when I bought some Thiel 2 2s.  They're very mediocre.

Thank You for the update.  Good to see you here.

Happy Listening!

Andy2, glad to see that more people are getting familiar with options to have linear phase. The steepness of the slope had an impact on the pre ringing, as has the frequency of the filter. As the goal is to keep the pre ringing inaudible, lower order XO are better, especially for the bass to mid XO. For the mid to tweet xo, the frequency range of the drivers and distortion may determine the preference for the XO order. As the timing can be measured and adjusted for each driver separately, the time coherence can be obtained at the listeners position easily.
