| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Multi-amping could have advantages even if done before the cross-overs, and even more so if each channel has its own power supply. If a speaker has a challenging impedance / phase angle above or below the frequency range of the cross-over the amp... | |
| Thiel Owners While I think -3dB @ 23 Hz might be suspect; the reported 35 Hz is spec’s @ 2.5 dB. | |
| Thiel Owners STRAIGHT WIRE - SPEAKER CABLES: Audio cables, video cables, connectors, HDMI, Home theater cable and from the ex-partner: Wireworld Speaker Cables | High-End Audio Cables (wireworldcable.com) | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, I would characterize “their very obvious differences” as how they appear visually. :-) I believe the Straightwire Maestro’s use individually coated strands layered in side by side groupings that are then woven in an interleaved fashion... | |
| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? And,...used Arcam DV-88? | |
| Any Thoughts? I am. | |
| Thiel Owners I believe Jim Thiel was using Straightwire Maestro’s before moving on to the Goertz speaker cables. Both can be found for relatively inexpensive prices on the used market. The Goertz cables models/gauges choices will depend upon the power output ... | |
| Thiel Owners I suppose I could mount the external crossovers on a pair of amp stands But I’d rather not. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, thanks for your consideration. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, your point is well taken. In my case I could possibly accommodate 1 meter runs, but something like 1.5 meters would probably be preferable. | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW, I would place outboard crossovers on shelves in the rack. | |
| Thiel Owners Seems to me that an outboard crossover might make the most sense. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, I have little doubt that I would enthusiastically like it. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, I’d consider using outboard cross-overs with my CS 3.5’s, especially if they could be optimized for use with upgraded eq’s. Perhaps even an eq > cross-over > amplification progression? | |
| Anyone dislike Ohm Walsh speakers? Old Ohms and new Ohms are not the same Ohms. |
