FINALLY! A youtube speaker / audio demonstration that uses QUALITY mics! I am SO SICK of seeing UA-cam "listen to these speakers!" clips recorded through cell phone mics! Nice gear. Close mic setup will help capture the sound of the SPEAKERS and avoid recording THE ROOM to some degree. Extra points awarded for not having silly "speaker wire trestles" => respect
@@ytfeverguy8367 If you want to go that far, you may as well ask: Are we listening to the actual artist, or the mics that recorded their performance? 😉 Definitely a little of both.
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to really show what these Thiels can do. There's just something about their high frequency reproduction that draws me to them.
Nice. I really enjoy my Tri-Vista with Wilson W/P 5.1 and MIT cabling. Responds well to upgrades too - silver power cord, silver and 7N copper umbilical cords.
Amazing! How this speaker will compare with something more modern like Ascend Acoustics Towers? Someone nearby is selling me one of this, but I was convinced (by reading online reviews) to buy the Ascend. There is no way I can preview something more modern, I live in an island in the Caribbean.
Funny, was listening to this on 180 G vinyl tonight. There were no speakers in the room, only Nils and his (they're) guitar(s). Maybe it is the digital, the close micing, or you tube but it is missing the explosive room filling swell of sound. If you don't have this album in vinyl, get it. Amazing.
Matt, Love all of the speakers you have reviewed. I purchased a pair of ADS 710 when I was 16 years old. Used all the money earn on my part time job to do so. Still have them BTW. Many years later purchased ADS 1290's. I love ADS speakers! Several year ago I move to Revel Ultima Salon's version 1. My set up is Bryston 7B-ST for amps, Bryston SP2 pre-amp, and Bryston BDA-1 DAC converter. The sound is amazing!! Good recordings seem live in front of you. Still love the tweeters on ADS. Your thoughts?
I have a pair of 710's, too! They need a little love, but they'll be back in working condition soon. I do still love the ADS sound. I fired my L2030's up a couple weeks ago for the first time in a year or so and they still drop my jaw. Fantastic speakers. I've never heard the Revel Salons, but they're on my demo list if I ever get the chance! I keep thinking I need to pare down my collection and invest in one or two really good pairs of speakers. The Salon 2's are getting a lot of positive press at the moment and may be worthy of consideration.
Bro your mic setup is killer. I've been browsing through your videos and your sound quality has REALLY improved. So let me ask you something...with all the speakers you've been through from the Dahlquist all the way to these Thiels....which ones do you think you love the best? They all sound great but all have thier own character....does one stand out as the one clearly on top? I was thinking of getting some dq10's but dang these Thiels sound good....
Glad you enjoyed the videos! Tough question...until recently none of them have been able to best the ADS L2030's. They're phenomenal speakers and they've been my reference for the last 4 years. I picked up a new pair of speakers recently and hope to have a new video up soon. The DQ-10's are fun speakers! I really enjoyed the pair I had. They were one of the first speakers that got me started on this crazy journey!
The Thiels are at the pinnacle. You will need a sub with the dq-10s,, but a mirrored pair of dq 10's have outstanding mid reproduction. ,, having said this , it's all still subjective.
Old thiel speakers (cs series etc) were some of the best ever made because guy who designed them actually knew his stuff. Jbl is just an ordinary brand that got popular, same is when you compare current Jbl Bluetooth speakers with Vifa...
Superb system and sound, even within the limitations of Y.T. I've got the CS6 s and they have ended my search for the "perfect" speaker. Nothing from the ones I tried ( KEF, B&W, Focal, Infinity Kappa 8i and some more), sounds like them! ..only negative, they're bloody heavy monsters... 😃😃
Hi Matt, May I ask if there was a reason for the speakers being so close to the wall? Ive just got my hands on Thiel CS1.7 and they recommended to have the speakers 3ft off the wall. So wanted to know if u have heard much difference for it being so close to the wall or was there a specific reason for that. Thanks!
Simply due to the space constraints of the room. If I moved them out from the wall more, I'd need to move the listening position back further which is not possible. I have them in a much larger room now which allows me to have the speakers just over 2ft from the rear wall, 5ft from the side walls, with the listening position 12ft from the speakers. The soundstage really opens up in the larger room, much like a large venue experience. In the smaller room it's a much more intimate experience. Like sitting front and center in a small venue. The speakers sound great in either room to be honest, they just take on a different character that reflects room conditions.
@@FaSTiEJ257 Thats nice! Unfortunately in Singapore, our rooms aren’t that big… so I will have to make do with the speakers just 1.5ft off the wall. Speakers indeed do sound amazing!
Node2i as streamer into the SMSL DAC. Not a reference DAC by any means but, this is not my primary system, and the little SMSL sounds better than the Node2i DAC.
Dude, fantastic system. Awesome. But you have to play something other than Diana Krall, Steve Ray's "Tin Pan Alley", or Nils freaking Lofgren. I'm sorry.
@@lesmatthews459 - I think he and others can choose something not on the Audiophile Sample List, will have less chance of being blocked. Hotel California is another overplayed ASL song.
It always cracks me up that an attempt is made to demonstrate speaker performance by listening to its output through a tiny, in this case, iPad speaker. WTF! I have a pair of Thiel CS 2.2 bought when they first dropped. Love them by listening to them LIVE. This is just plain silly.
Please …..Keith is already gone , back and gone again…hope it never comes back , Stop playing the same show the system crap time and time again! News : this does not demonstrate any system as it should …..why ? Because even in a midi hifi it makes it sound good , This always sound more to me like : going to show off with this song how good my ego gets with my beautiful system , even if it sounds crap with anything else . Normally when someone uses this type of music to show off a system tells me that that same someone is about to change equipment , and is unhappy with something in it !
You we're very clear in describing your objections, criticisms, observations, requests. You can't go back to undo them with your little post edits/comments. You felt like you felt, you said what you said, it is what it is. Everybody's got one of those you know what's... Opinions... Yeah, that's it.😅
I had these speakers. Greatest coherence I've heard. Sorta wish I still had them
Serious system! Owned the Thiel's 03A and now I have the CS2.3s. Great speakers.
Very Excellent demo sir and kudos for using nice mics for the demo!!! Those Thiel's are still about at the top of the class.
That was exquisite. Thiel was first high end speaker system of course not those used in the video. What a wonderful performance.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The amp on the floor is just a spare. It's not hooked up to anything.
Try this one, I agree. Why I started making videos...
ua-cam.com/video/nIOR5CiTLSc/v-deo.html
the question is are we hearing the mic or the Thiels? I say a little of both but a nice treat.
@@ytfeverguy8367 If you want to go that far, you may as well ask: Are we listening to the actual artist, or the mics that recorded their performance? 😉 Definitely a little of both.
Wow the sound is incredible, never hearc anything so clear no distortion whats so ever, it's like the artist are right there playing. Awesome video
Listening on YT through a Pioneer amp and Q Acoustic speakers...it sounds amazing and I'm probably getting a tenth of the true quality!
Sensacional a divisão das frequências... ganhou mais um inscrito.

I had the CS7s. They were designed to be listened to with there grills on.
It's UA-cam sound quality, but it's coming out through the screen

The vinyl is great! In this case, it's lost in the recording and replay through UA-cam. In the room it's live and immersive!
@@FaSTiEJ257 good to hear. I
It's an amazing recording. The close micing probably did not capture the room sound.
Glad to see you're back!! Missed you!
Thanks, Les! Glad you're enjoying the videos.

This looks like the system I have seen advertised for sale while searching on HiFi Shark
It is such a shame what happened to the Thiel speaker company which lead to their demise.
Thiels!

Очень красиво звучит, прям лучше, чем в оригинале (а я знаю как в оригинале звучит эта композиция).

you are a professior,can u tell me what's differents between jbl&thiel?i like JBL style ,don't like Klipsch style.
Old thiel speakers (cs series etc) were some of the best ever made because guy who designed them actually knew his stuff. Jbl is just an ordinary brand that got popular, same is when you compare current Jbl Bluetooth speakers with Vifa...

Wow... a wonderful sound. Would you attribute this primarily to Tri-Vista 300?
Also these speakers had tight very low distortion in the bass.
