Thiel Owners

@vair68robertt
I'm still waiting to hear from Rob G on why my or all 2.7s have this wiring instead of the straight wire that was standard in all other Thiels

Earlier, in a discussion about 2.7s in another web page, Jim Thiel was reported to have said that when the 2.7s were designed, he used information he'd gained from the 3.7s. 

Rob, Thiel Audio would have used such information, but Jim died in 2009. His active projects after the 3.7 were the 3.7b (Chinese XO), the SCS4 and CS2.4SE, and the CS7.3 which was not developed. He didn't work on the CS2.7.

Thank You for the continued history lessons. Looking forward in reading about your report after consulting Steven Hill and George Cardas.Have you given thought about Ray Kimber?

Happy Listening!

We chose the final 9" to 12", depending on which driver, to be left untwisted. Something about how the wire-fields were interacting with the "pot of soup" made that configuration sound better. 

Oh, great! Now I’m going to have nervosa about how it might sound if I untwist everything! LOL

Beetle - No, No I didn’t mean it!JA - Ray is a good idea.All - I continued my comparisons re cabling and noticed a deep bass rumble / congestion with the C arrangement: ++ and --, taped together for close parallel run. Rather than side by side, I put each speaker individually against the corner fill and compared measurements. C had a 10dB rise below 30Hz to the cut-off at 10Hz compared to B, which continued its normal bass rolloff. I confirmed with listening in that corner position. Now, a bass reflex cabinet is rolling off at 24db/octave. There must be powerful resonant mojo in that cable configuration to produce that much deep bass. Anyhow, the B - separated runs - sounds cleaner and more articulate.I’ll repeat this morning and scratch my head.
