| The order of getting more/better bass A ported bass reflex speaker usually does not have the bass control vs. for example transmission line speakers. Sometimes it's the room fault but it could be how the speaker controls the bass. Regardless, having two sub, one for each channel is ... | |
| Thiel Owners Andy2, I’m assuming you mistyped, because a high-pass filter will attenuate the *low* frequencies more than the highs! OK, I was high on weeds :-) But the more ’open’ sound without grilles IMO is as much the lack of an acoustic obstruction b... | |
| Thiel Owners For some reasons, Tom reminds me of this. Oh well maybe I’ll use the stereo illusions ... But I’ll take my gloves off at the challenge. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNjhiMjk1YWYtMjgyYy00YTFhLTk0NTMtN2Q5MDZjMWEyYWI1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTQxNz... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. In the other side my conclusion along this thread ( what happened and what does not happened. ) is that does not exist a " best harmless/signatureless capacitor " for speaker crossovers. I agree. Every cap will have its sound signature - some are... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank you Tom. The cabinet seems to be the most time consuming part of making a speaker at least in the DIY world. I suppose with CNC equipment then maybe the process will be much faster. Personally for me the cabinet takes about 70% of the time a... | |
| Thiel Owners Maybe if Tom could help with this. I was wondering how the baffle of the Thiel speakers are manufactured? The curved baffle geometry probably presents some difficulties. If I were to do it by hands, I probably would use a combination of a plana... | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. As for the mention of the Thor, I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Seas Magnesium drivers. They have a unique warmness on the mid and lower mid but very natural, and at the same time, very detail like a hard cone. It took a bit of time to brea... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 rather demanding amplification I think that's a bit of an exaggeration made mostly by Stereophile. I currently have a 150W amp and it is driving the Thiels fine. They can go pretty low. | |
| New Speaker Conundrum - Vandy's, Spendors, Salk, Ascend - Mainstream or ID Is cptkaos an acronym for cupcakes? :-) | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. To think about it, everything else being equal, the mid probably is more important than the tweeter. But what's more important is the xover. The designer will ultimately be the final decider as to the final sound. | |
| Thiel Owners https://manofmany.com/tech/audio/dynaudios-evidence-loudspeakers-85000-well-spent Damn ... tall, slim, and perfectly proportioned lols. That definitely will make me spend 80K on front ends :-)Here's a trick question: Does really it matter how the... | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. It's more interesting to discuss in term of midrange driver size. Some people prefer smaller size mid for speed and clarity. Mine has to be at least 5in large so they can better integrated to the 8in. bass at the low frequencies for example. Al... | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? I much prefer having of one pair of large speakers than having three pairs of small ones lols.Anyway, coming from DIY world, listening to a lot of speakers does change your perspectives. I used to watch Siskel and Ebert when I was a kid and found... | |
| Thiel Owners Playing with speaker position and room acoustic will yield differences that swamp what you’d get switching around digital sources.(And btw, I’m not in the camp that says every digital source sounds the same). That's missing the point though. E... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Damn ... those are some real serious speakers ... I am afraid to ask how much ... like asking how much a Ferrari costs. If you have to ask like they say ... |
