Thiel Owners

naimfan - ordinary screws will work. Those Thiel screws are plated with black phosphate. Rob at Coherent Source Service should have them.

@tomthiel - 

Thank you!  I'll get in touch with Rob - I'd prefer to use the intended parts, even if it is a screw.  It does have, after all, a rather important job - securing the woofer to prevent it from moving relative to the (very high quality and expensive) baffle/cabinet.  

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.

Welcome! Good to see you here. Reading through this thread, you will find several owners of 3.6 loudspeakers. We have a few fans of Bryston gear as well. What other gear rounds out your system?
I look forward in reading more about musical tastes.

Happy Listening!

Since namifan asked about screws, I'll peek into the rabbit hole with you.My EMI scans show that the steel screws are active in the driver fields. Early hypothesis is that they matter. I have replaced all screws in my working prototypes with brass. Fiberglas would be better, but unavailable in small quantities at affordable prices. I invite any of you to swap your screws for brass and post what you learn.
