Thiel Owners


Guys-

I just scored a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. Anyone else currently or previously owned this model?
Owners of the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7 are free to chime in as well. Thiel are excellent w/ both tubed or solid-state gear!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Guys - I'll have some things to say about Thiel's take on positioning.Meanwhile, is there a physicist or other knowledgeable person here to address sdecker's query about 'interesting' bass alignment? It's important, and veiled in obscurity, and reflex bass is the industry standard. Any comments?
Twisted phrases for sure..There is some software I have been exploring and it does show phase variations of the same driver in various box designs and even port length. You can see the vent air speed to minimize turbulence within the port. More you know the more the need to know more. Tom
The software is Vituix Cad recommended by the primary
of HiFi Compass .com a very informative website and knowledge base with numbers and graphs. Tom
tomthiel et al: "reflex bass is the industry standard" but none of the current manufacturers are claiming their speakers to be "Completely Time and Phase Coherent."  My longwinded observations and questions may be better suited to audio asylum.
Personally I dont see how phase angles of any 2 overlapping drivers could ever be a perfect overlay.
Maybe at a few frequencies but certainly not 90%. Wishful thinking
and I certainly want to learn more.
Not so sure that adding corrective filters are the best way to fly. Adding more and more parts sucks up power and will add noise and reduce dynamics. Tom
