Thiel Owners

Rob is a really nice guy, and has been helping me DIY another repair on my 3.6s (SN 130, 131!).  He may get them up and running agian.

Any Thiel owners switch to  KEF and/or Harbeth?  Observations, things you miss from the Thiels?
I haven't heard Harbeths, and doing so in NYC requires dealing with Andy Singer, who is not the most gemutlich person I've met.  But I'm intrigued - they seem to have a similar cult following to Thiel, and excel at classical music and small ensemble Jazz, which are my thangs.

I listened to a pair of Harbeth super HL5 plus tonight and I think these may take my Thiels' spots.  Definitely a non-fatiguing sound, with the best ability to separate individual instruments of my listening so far. Also the best chamber music and jazz trio presentation, with a palpable sense of the players in the room.  I've heard better renditions of the Tympani shots in Sibelius 1/Scherzo, but i could pick out the instruments, hear the wood in the strings, and feel the venue.  I discovered some new information in each of my audition tracks. And, important for us apartment dwellers, they still drew me in at low volumes  

For those interested, the other equipment was Aurender-Backert Rhumba-Bryston 4B cubed. 

If anyone wants my CS3.6s, please let me know, I'm going to let them go.  

The right tweeter needs to be rebuilt. My plan was to send it off to Coherent, but if someone wants them as is, I'd be happy to see them go somewhere to be loved as I loved them (since 1993, I think it was).  I have none of the packing material. Thiel replaced it all for me once, but the second set of boxes were damaged in a flood.

They are here in NYC, and if you want to come get them....
