Thiel Owners

Does anyone have information about the 02A floor standers. I have a pair and had the mids rebuilt. I finally convinced my wife that we should "test" them out in our main listening/living room. Now, she won't stop listening to them and the pretty newish non-Thiel speakers that had been in that room are relegated to my home office.

I am trying to see about having the crossovers rebuilt. Also, they have the black built-in pedestal stands where the terminals are located, which are made of MDF and have absorbed moisture over the years. Any tips on getting replacement pedestals is greatly appreciated. 

Thanks all.

Thanks for the warm welcome. 

I checked the model number last night, and I stand corrected. The correct model is 03A. 

I have reached out to Mr. Gillum and will keep the group posted.

I have these paired with an Electrocompaniet integrated amp. I play vinyl from a VPI Scout and digital streaming using Audirvana running on a mac mini. My tastes range from Lucinda Williams to Led Zeppelin to Max Richter to Mark Knopfler and all points in between. And I am always looking for new music to listen to. When I first brought the Thiels into our living room, I played Lucinda's Rescue from her album West as a demo for my wife, and she just stared at the speakers and smiled. Scuffs and scars and all, they are now a part of our decor. 

Hey Jafant.

For interconnects, I generally use the Audioquest Evergreens. I think they sound good, are well made, and are generally a good value. My speaker cables are DIY built from some bulk Canare Star Quad cable I picked up a few years ago. 

How about you?

Someone suggested that the woofers in my 03A set may not be original. Does anyone remember what the originals would have been? 

tomthiel,

Thanks again. I think this coming weekend I'll pull one of the woofers and see what is actually in there. I'm not sure if Rob is on vacation or super busy, but he hasn't returned my two emails.
