Thiel Owners

Hey folks, 

i could use some recommendations for optimizing my home theater.  
Mom running 5.1 with Thiel 3.7 as my Fronts, an SCS3 center and 2.3s for my rear.  
I have then connected to a Denon POA-A1HDC on bridge mode which provides 500w to 4 ohms. 

Running audyssey has some problems maxing out my fronts.  

I was was wondering if I should forgo the bridge mode and drop to 300w. Vs the recommendation to use attenuators to get audyssey to balance.  

I know the 3.7s are known to be power hungry, but the area in the basement is not very large.  (I sit 8 feet away from center).  

Any my thoughts are appreciated.  

Hi folks,
im looking to go from 5.1 to 7.1
currently my hone theater has 3.7 fronts, scs3 center and 2.7 surrounds.

Im looking for a cheap but decent rears but have no idea what would match well. Hate to say I do want to keep it cheap. I considered used scs2 for about $500 but looking for other thoughts.

Thanks.

ps.  Looking for bookshelf’s 

I’m running 5.1 home theater setup with 2.7s as my front and the SCS2s for center and rear.

I’m considering changing the center and curious if anyone has suggestions that would fit nicely.

thanks

@pablohoney 

my bad. I actually have the scs3 center. 
I once looked at the mcs1. Unfortunately if memory serves it’s too tall for the space in my cabinet to fit below the tv.  
 

might have to find another way. Definitely a speaker to reconsider. 

 

thanks. 

@jafant Thanks, I've never had CS2.7 (unless I wrote the wrong number in an old post). 

Have and love my CS3.7s. Good for a lifetime of wondering how can I make them even better without going bankrupt on the next AMP.  :)

Well Hi @tomthiel , 

You do know when you post such a message, someone will ask, so what can I expect as far as upgrade packaged for my 2,3s, 3.7s, and SCS4?

They're old, but like me they're beautiful. And it never hurts to see if they can be made even better.

thanks.

@tomthiel as an owner of a number of Thiels (3.7,2.3,SCS2,SCS4) I am excited to hear about your plans, and fingers are crossed for your success.

But I really have to, and hate to ask, any plans for improvements on my beloved 3.7s? I need these to last forever!
