| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Thanks very much for your help! | |
| Thiel Owners Would it be worth changing crossovers after 10+ years ? My 3.7s are from 2011 and i’m wondering if i should order new crossovers from Rob. | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. +1 for the Riviera Levante otherwise you have the Ypsilon Phaethon. | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? For me most impactful by far is Cardas Clear Beyond IC and SC. Best purchase i've ever done period. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers I feel that i still haven't maxed out my Thiels, there is still lots of room for improvement in my system for the years to come therefore no need to change the speakers. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers Thanks but i decided to stick with my Thiel CS 3.7s and i will mostly keep upgrading the pre-power part of my system in the future. Most modern uber expensive speakers don't give me the joy and magic that i have with my Thiels. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks guys, IMO a single Coda#16 would easily outperform 2 AHB-2s driving CS 3.7s. Anyway i will start by demoing the Gryphon Essence stereo pre-power combo and see how that goes against my Diablo 300. Since i now have Cardas Clear Beyond IC an... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Just trying to compare my Diablo 300 to the newer Gryphon Essence Monos. My dealer can lend me the Essence stereo and pre to try out in my system so i can make a shootout against my Diablo 300 but no one has the Mono versions for me to t... | |
| Thiel Owners Guys i have a question regarding amp power to max out Thiel speakers. Is it better to have 300W A/B stereo doubling down to 2 ohms with 136 000 microfarads of capacitance or 55W pure class A Monoblocks doubling down to 2 ohms with 880 000 microfa... | |
| Thiel Owners Signal cables do make a huge difference from one brand to another with Thiel speakers at least in my experience with my 3.7s. I have gone from Gryphon VIP IC and SC to Cardas Clear Beyond IC and SC. The difference is night and day, Clear Beyond ... | |
| Comparison of Cardas Clear & Beyond Speaker Cable to Shunyata Sigma or Alpha Cable I received my brand new Clear Beyond IC and SC. I'm only 24 hours into the break in period and i can tell you guys the bass is mind blowing with much more air, density and resolution. I come from Gryphon VIP series IC and SC, Clear Beyond is way... | |
| Thiel Owners Check these out guys, a beautiful pair of McCormack Monos. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaaeg8-smc-audio-custom-400w-monobloc-amplifiers-solid-state | |
| Thiel Owners Ok just tried 9 apart, indeed much better than 8 much more air between the instruments, sounstage is spectacular. I have best results with very little toe in. I cannot try 10 apart because my carpet is not wide enough but very happy with 9. In... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Yes seems that we have similar rooms, my system is long wall placement and i'm sitting close to the back wall about 9 feet from tweeters. My room has very good acoustics as i have wooden floor, thick carpet under the system and thick cur... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, just a quick question regarding positioning. How far apart were you able to set your Thiels from tweeter to tweeter without having a hole in the soundstage ? Is it 9 or 10 feet or more ? I have my 3.7s 8 feet apart as recommended in th... |
