| Thiel Owners Correction - no 3.5’s nowone 3.0 listed twice with mismatched woofers | |
| Thiel Owners FYI there is a smorgasbord of vintage thiels for sale on the SF Bay Area Craigslist. 3.6’s for $850 that look good2) 2.2’s one for $250 w/ the probable blown woofer one for $3951 or 2 3.5s in questionable shape3 or more! .5s and a 1.5I was ... | |
| Thiel Owners Is there a known replacement for the 2.2 8" woofer? Are any still available? There is a pair of 2.2's for sale locally at a ridiculous price with one woofer likely blown. Alternately - is rebuilding the woofer an option?I won't be giving up m... | |
| Thiel Owners @prof Love your description of 3D imaging / soundstage. Well put.@yyzsantabarbara Congrats at getting through your rebuild. A lot of work while learning new stuff along the way. Not a bad way to pass time during a pandemic. Been doing a lig... | |
| Thiel Owners ThielrulesI did not use REW- and did not know about it until your mention. Room EQ Wizard? I’ll download and check it out.I simply used Logic’s EQ plugin and snapped a few pics while pink noise was playing. I didn’t go too crazy with it. I also... | |
| Thiel Owners thoft. The new mid drivers are vey revealing and compelling, I’m just not sure the balance is quite right - at least on my system with the hours I have on them now. One good thing - I’m less worried about blowing them when I turn it up. | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft. FWIW I used an Adcom 555II on the 3.5's for years. I installed a high quality passive stepped attenuator in it and ran my DAC directly into the amp. I now use an old Superphon preamp into a Classe C300.I'd say the Adcom set up gave me ... | |
| Thiel Owners 3.5' mids replaced with Madisound's '13M replacement' scan-speak 10f with adapter ring.My experience to date (and a little advice):Loosening the tweeters needs to be done with just the right screwdriver and much care. I had a ratcheting screwdive... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank You Tom. I'll do a battery check just in case. | |
| Thiel Owners Pulling the mids and I thought the phase would be obvious. It's not.There is one wire with kind of subtle red or rust coloring. The other white. No + - on the driver. I aim guessing the colored wire is positive but wanted to check with those ... | |
| Thiel Owners new mid driver burn in? I recently received my pair of scan-speak 10F "13M replacement" from Madisound for my beloved 3.5sI've taken a bunch of pink noise and vocal sample recordings at different distances with a decent condenser mic for future ... | |
| Thiel Owners thielrules. Thanks for sharing your experience removing the waveguides. | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft "I wasn’t able to free mine and gave up. They’re just in as flat"Got it - I figured separating it would not be easy. I am not certain about wave guided being available from Coherent Source. I had read somewhere that he sold complete driv... | |
| Thiel Owners 'no luck so far' on the 200wpc bargain Manley I meant | |
| Thiel Owners Interesting discussion re. tube amps driving the 3.5s. I just upgraded my solid state amp from and Adcom 555II to a Classe CA300 and havre been luxuriating in the power and glory. The 3D palpability approaching tube magic - but . . . .I keep wai... |
