THIEL CS3.7 Anyone heard them?


Has anyone heard the THIEL CS3.7? I read conflicting reviews regarding bass.
Some say well defined bass, some say need to add a sub? Can this be true?

I own the cs3.7's and don't miss the bass below 35hz but I don't listen to pipe organ. With respect to a sub, Thiel's smart sub system is amazing. It does far more than "add bass". In fact, adding much bass to a well broken-in and well-fed pair of 3.7's in a moderately sized room would be overkill, IMHO. The smart sub gives you more placement freedom and can make the sound of your system more effortless. I wouldn't even consider a non-Thiel sub with the 3.7's because none will sound seamless. Many people have heard my current system and while it had its flaws to be sure, no one has ever commented on a lack of bass...in fact, most are surprised by how strikingly musical the bass is. Nonetheless, having heard the SS 2.2, I wish I could afford a one but I'll have to save up first.
Doggiehouser,

Wow. That is an amazing system! (insert drool emoticon here).

I have some questions: are you running the subs directly from your Arc or are you using the Thiel crossover? I also wonder how critical the wire is connecting the subs. What do you notice that the subs do for the 3.7's. I'm seriously considering this when funds permit.
