Thiel Owners

I chose red and black wires and one of them had a slightly less flexible jacket, making the twisting a bit asymmetrical. Helped to have one end anchored as I twisted at the other. You definitely need to add length. I didn’t take notes on my raw and finished lengths. Maybe add 25%?


I am bi-wiring, not bi-amping. The latter probably results in the very best sound but I’ve been told that most of the benefit comes from the more affordable solution. My wife already thinks I’m crazy. I suppose it’s true :)

Reuben, for historical prices of Thiel speakers you can use hifishark.com

@beetlemania

I believe you said that you have Cardas Golden Reference speaker cables ? 2 pair ?
Do you have 2 speaker outputs ?
If both of the above have you tried using 1 cable for each polarity ?

DIY is crazy , crazy fun .

My amp has only one output per channel but they are Cardas binding posts (identical to what I put on the Thiels) which accept spades from either side. No issue to hookup two runs. Even tri-wiring would probably fit on a single post if your speaker had a corresponding XO.
If I understand your other question, no. And I can longer try that as I sent my jumpers to Tom Thiel for his experimentation.

I have a couple of pics on my system page.

I looked at your systems page ,
you do have 2 GR bi-wired cables !
Base crossover wiring on the bottom and mid/tweeter on top ?

Try taking cable #1 and make it + , both black and red at the amp
take cable #2 and make it - , both black and red at the amp 
at the speaker end take cable #1 black to bass + and red to m/t +
then cable #2 black to bass - and red to m/t -
( I think I got this correct )


Give this a try and let everyone know what you hear .
