Thiel Owners

Thiel scs4t popped up nearby. Anyone heard these? Are these post Jim thiel or Jim thiels creation directly?

by selling your 3.5 loudspeakers, what is the replacement ?

Happy Listening!

“Jim set about executing reflex bass very well indeed; but the lagging time alignment is baked into the physics of the beast.”

I noticed this first time I played my CS6’s. And by reason of being pushed out as the woofer settles, the passive radiator is in a sense out of phase with the woofer.

I could only sense this because the CS6’s immediately followed Infinity Kappa 8’s, that just knock you over with near physics-defying bass. Also why they eat up so many amplifiers…like two of mine.

Great post Sir!

So which Thiel do I step up to after the CS6’s? The 5? The 3.7? I love the sound but that bass affect is unwanted. 

tomthiel,

Your comments on the Vovox cable are very interesting. Have you ever tried using unshielded Vovox as an interconnect between preamp and amp?

sdl4 - I have not used the Vovox for interconnects - just because I never felt the need. I'm happy with my Morrows. My opinion is that unshielded sounds better than shielded; so only use shielded when there is a need (evidenced by shielded sounding better.) I'm very interested in what you learn about Vovox as interconnects.
