| Thiel Owners have you compared Clarity, Mundorf, and Jantzen (or others)? Which ones? I have used the Clarity CSA (the older version, not the latest one with their newer Copper Technology), Mundorf Supreme cap, and Jantzen Z-Silver.The CSA is OK I think but... | |
| Thiel Owners I would like to make a correction from my post above. 3. Cap C6 & C7 may not be critical. They along with inductor L2 form a notch filter at around 2.5KHz and most of the time, there is no current through them. R4 is actuall more critical (... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel This threadhttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-cs2-4-upgrade-to-cs-2-4-se Thanks beetlemania for the pic. Based on the pic, I drew up the schematic and I would like to make a few comments. Since this forum does not allow po... | |
| Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se The degradation of the low-end is not something I experienced, I would even say that for the modification the low/mid was leading at the mid/high and there is now a better balance. It's possible that the mod may have lifted mid a bit so relativ... | |
| Thiel Owners Have you guys (Andy, Beetle, Holco or Tom) found this problematic for your personal system power amps to drive? As I understand it, this is correlated in drops between 4 Ohms down to 2 Ohms across much of the speakers' frequencies. 3 Ohm nominal... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi beetlemania and Tom,I am wondering if you could comment on the sound improvement of the CS2.4 given various xover upgrades? I think you have said there was improvement but could you elaborate a bit more? I understand it's hard to describe sou... | |
| Thiel Owners While a heavier gauge in a single conductor may allow a higher capacity, I am curious how signal response across the contemplated frequency range through such increased conductor cross section would be impacted. Perhaps a multiple optimum condu... | |
| Thiel Owners But there is this other dimension. In my acoustic guitar design and archival recording I have identified an accumulation factor. Recording engineers and piano techs and other technical artists also experience this phenomenon. When on a particula... | |
| Thiel Owners internal wire is definitely a factor. It carries a slightly different set of requirements from external cable, which must cope with many unknowns of run length, electromagnetic environment, speaker impedance fluctuation, and more. The internal w... | |
| Thiel Owners I have been through tons of speaker cables and I can tell you that you do not need expensive cables to enhance characteristics of the 3.6. There are several sub 1K cables that have worked better for me than many low to mid 5 figure cables. All... | |
| Thiel Owners There is no time compensation in those crossovers. The coincident alignment is achieved geometrically via the position of the coaxial midrange and tweeter. Hi Tom,Actually you have answered my question. Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi Tom,I was wondering if you would be willing to share the xover design of the CS2.7 or CS3.7. I believe the mid+tweeter unit has separate xovers (vs. the 2.4 which is mechanical). For the tweeter xover design, do you know if it has an electric... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi beetlemania,I was wondering if you had to remove the xover boards from the cabinet then swapped out the components, or do you solder the components while the xover boards were inside the cabinets?Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners I'm planning to replace the 7bst with a higher quality amp of up to 30 watt, class A, tubes or SS. What would you recommend. Been looking at pass labs and luxman. I have a pair of Cary Six Pac Monoblocks rated at 50W in triode mode, but they j... | |
| Thiel Owners As others have mentioned, integrating the sub to the main speakers is not easy. For time-phase coherent speakers, it's even more difficult. I think that is why Vandersteen chose to integrate the sub into the main speakers so at least you have so... |
