Thiel 1.5 vs. 1.6, any experience?


I have owned much of the very best in audio, CJ ART etc., but am in a financial rebuilding phase and starting a modest system.

I owned the Thiel 1.5 at one time and enjoyed them. I am thinking of them for this new small system but would like to learn of any experience you have with them vs. the 1.6 (which I have never heard).

Thanks

Hi all ! Have you considered the new 1.7 ?

Mds,
I respectfully and reluctantly disagree with the 'bass assessment'.
The 1.5 may have had 'claimed bass' to 38...(very doubtful, oh, there but WAAAAY DOWN)...
The 1.6, and I compared them, had much more tonal and realistic bass in that region to my ears, and IMHO.

Sometimes the stated specs can influence what we hear, sad but true.

Read all of the continuing stellar reviews, then audition. They are absolutely remarkable. Driving (at this time) with Prima Luna Pre & Power amp, Oppo 84 SE, & Peachtree Dac for playback with Macbook, Nordost interconnects and Blue Jeans speaker cable.

please join us over on the Thiel Owners thread. We do not have many CS 1.5/1.6 nor 1.7 owners. You can offer a unique perspective. I look forward in reading more about your Audio journey.
Happy Listening!
