TMR has also listed a few other Thiel speakers in cherry. Looks to all be pieces of a Thiel home theater system. https://tmraudio.com/speakers/center-speakers/thiel-scs3-center-channel-speaker-cherry-scs-3/ https://tmraudio.com/speakers/center-speakers/thiel-mcs1-center-channel-speaker-mcs-1-w-sound-anchor-stand-cherry/ https://tmraudio.com/speakers/subwoofers/thiel-sw1-ss2-smartsub-dual-9-powered-subwoofer-sw-1-as-is-no-power/ |
Tom I installed the 17.5 guage chassis wire to the tweeters Sunday and my conclusion is this is the correct size to use . While the 15.5 guage sounded very good there was a glaring issue , on loud higher frequency notes distortion appeared . This was first noticed when listning to the War album Deliver The Word when an alto sax hit the high notes , I then checked with the album that I use for testing when changes are made Norah Jones Come Away With Me , some of her piano notes caused the same ear bending distortion as heard on the War album and finally the worst offender of all listening to Freewheelin Bob Dylan album , his harmonica playing convinced me to try changing in wire gauge . The 17.5 sound smooth and sweet , all the notes that were distorted before now sound detailed and clear , even Bob Dylans harmonica playing or to say at least as good as his playing gets . If I do any other wire changes it will be to increase the gauge to the bass crossover board but for now it's time to listen to the music for a while before I start installing the Mills the resistors .
