Thiel Owners
@duramax747 I recently listened to Wilson Audio Sasha Alexia V pairing with Boulder 866 all in one for 30 mins in several songs and I feel my system Audia Flight St1/ST4 + my CS7.2 sound better in term of bass , sound stage and dynamic and naturalization. it might not be the apple to apple comparison but I think CS7.2 can match to any current speaker costs 30-40k USD easily. Just my thoughts. Not sure is anybody have different view? |
bas79, I agree with your observation wholeheartedly. Thats why I decided to keep them. I use Pass Labs X600.5 and XA 200.5. Tom Thiel has recently acquired these monsteres and hope he will be offing a crossover upgrade for these spesakers. Also wiring and binding post. I'm going to design a base to fit the CS 7.2 to do them justice. So with some additional upgrades they will be an incredible value. |
Since things are quiet and I've been patiently waiting for Clarity Capacitors (1 year) to release their Purity series so I could finish the mid/tweeter crossover upgrade I thought I'd update the images on the virtual systems page under Thiel ( almost the last one ) . While waiting and being bored since it's the winter rainy season I tried many toe-in positions after giving up on have the speakers straight ahead ( I think that 3 feet from the side walls are not enough ) . I circled back to a position that I preferred a long time ago of a toe-in of 9 degrees or 1 7/16ths inches . I also re-visited the room treatment on the front wall , something that I hadn't done after replacing the rear ported speakers with the 2.7s . I found out that I was over dampened , boy do I feel dumb . My though was the front wall treatment affected only the bass frequencies since if I stood behind the speakers that is what I was hearing , WAS I WRONG . So an old dog can learn new tricks . Hope you enjoy my confession . Happy New Year All
