Thiel Owners

Hi guys. New to this forum. I have a nice pair of 3.6s that I got many years ago, and they still sound lovely. Driven by a Bryston 4B (250w/ch), which is not as much punch as they want probably, but it's a great combination that sounds clear and precise. I do need to replace some drivers some time, so I'm poking around for solutions there. The damage to the originals is minor, so I'll probably just order stock from Rob at Coherent, just to have around. I'm unlikely to ever purchase a better pair of speakers than the 3.6. They make me happy every time I listen to them, and it's a thrill to have people listen to their own music on the system. Fresh ears to music they thought they knew.

Thanks @jafant. I've been enjoying paging through all the threads. It's especially fun to see notes from @tomthiel, right from the source. My system is pretty simple. A Bryston BP-20 preamp to match the 4B amp. A Marantz 6004 for CDs. Straightwire interconnects. A Panamax line conditioner for power, running through a dedicated circuit to the panel. I'm not too convinced that the power stuff does much, but I was able to get the circuit added when we rewired our house. With a basic system like this, my feeling is that it's about at a plateau of quality vs. cost tradeoffs. I bought everything used. And I would need to spend a pretty significant chunk of money to get a marked improvement in sound. The things I'd do some time is a better turntable than the $200 job my wife bought, and a second Bryston amp so I could run them bridged and better feed those Thiel beasts.
