In Reply to: Back in the day I was told, on excellent authority posted by John Marks on June 11, 2022 at 17:19:57:
...that makes sense based on the reputation of a lifted treble response in Thiel speakers. When I bought those 03A's, I had no idea about that treble anomaly. I just bought the salesguy's rap about the audiophile qualities of the brand and I liked what I heard in the showroom. But over the ensuing months and years after purchase, listener fatigue was an issue to the point where actually found a suitable tweeter replacement for the tweeters and got a better result in my room. That experiment launched me on my own speaker building quest which resulted in a speaker that I demo'd at the Chicago CES in 1986 (The Shannonbrooke Model I). A story for another day.
Back to to the Theil 03A's, their use of an active equalizer between preamp and amp was, I think, a bit novel at that time. After all these years, I am now using a speaker that sort of mirrors that one (i.e. time and phase coherent with, in this case, a passive equalizer) - Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT's. In my fully treated listening room, the Vandy's are nearly perfect as driven by a Cary SLP-05 pre and Manley Snapper monoblocks. I am blessed!
