Thiel Owners
My Thiels dominate my 11 x 13 basement room but the sound is glorious. Most of my gear is 40 years old: Oracle TT, Monster Alpha 1 ctg, PS IV preamp. I upsized my VSP Labs amp (150wpc) for an Adcom 5800 (250wpc) that pushes these speakers to satisfying volume. I’ve recently added a Wiim streamer and last week got a Fosi Box 5 to play with to see if it’s better than the PS phono stage. I’m moving in a few months to a house with a BIG space for these BIG speakers.

Hello to everybody, is the first time I'm writing here. First of all thanks for this great thread and for all the valuable informations that cannot be found everywhere else. I live in Italy, I'm the happy owner of a CS3.5 system with Electrocompaniet amplification, and I have few questions. Few years ago I noticed some heavy distorsions from one speaker. I opened it and found a blown 1uF capacitor. I replaced it on both speakers and everything was back to normal. But looking on the net I found a discussion from somebody with the same problem who also published a picture of his crossover, and discovered that where he's got a 8uF cap I got a 6,2uF. So I' m wondering if my crossover is complaying to the original spec or it has been modified. Moreover I would like to ask to Mr Thiel, if on his projects, he is thinking of a replacement for the midrange speaker. Mine are ok at the moment but one has been repaired at the cone tinsel lead, and if in case of need could I use the scanspeak 10F8424 as is suggested somewhere on the net ? By the way, somebody here has done it and is happy with that ? Thanks everybody and excuse me if any mistake, Massimo |
