| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 Tom,Before you bought the Enterprises, did you by any chance listen to any of the Krell FPB series amps with your 3.6's? I have the same speakers, and I'm considering getting a used pair of 250M monoblocks. I would be interested to know how you th... | |
| Thiel 1.6 vs 2.3 vs 3.6 Ray,When I was speaker shopping in early 1995, I was considering the 2.2's and the 3.6's, which at that time sold for $2750 and $3950 respectively. My wife and I took some CDs to the Thiel dealer in Tustin, CA, the Digital Ear, and a very accommod... | |
| Best Inexpensive DAC I was using a Denon DCD1650AR CD player, when I also decided to run the digital coax output to an external DAC. (I'm using a BAT VK-20, Aragon 8008BB and Thiel 3.6's.) I chose a used Dodson Audio DA217MkIID, which is probably more than your budget... | |

| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? I use an Aragon 8008BB to drive my Thiel 3.6's, and I've been very pleased with it. It supplies 200wpc into 8 ohms and 400wpc into 4 ohms. It is very solidly built, and it seems to be a good match for the Thiels. The sound is both full-bodied and ... | |
| Thiel Cs 3.6. Outdated? Jmabe,I have owned a pair of 3.6's for almost nine years, and since then, I have made several improvements to my system, and each change has been readily audible. I have found the 3.6's to be so good as to justify any system upgrade that I can aff... | |
| What did you replace your DQ-10's with? I owned a pair of DQ-10's from 1978 until they were damaged in the Northridge earthquake of January 1994. I replaced them with the Thiel 3.6's, which I still have ... wonderful speakers! | |

| CD/Transport W/ External DAC If a DAC is used that has an effective design to remove jitter, so that the data stream of 0's and 1's is properly received with the timing intact, before it is applied to the digital-to-analog converter, and if the source of the data (i.e., the C... | |
| Need recommendation for a preamp. Roy,I have an Aragon 8008BB (the pre-Klipsch version) and it has done a great job driving my Thiel 3.6's. I recently bought a BAT VK-20 preamp, and it works beautifully with the Aragon. If you are patient, you should be able to find a used one aro... | |
| Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using? Since my post a year ago, I've inserted a Harmonic Tech Magic Digital One cable and a Dodson DA-217MkIID DAC between the Denon DCD-1650AR CD player and the Bryston BP-20 preamp, replaced the Harmonic Tech Pro-Silway II interconnects with Harmonic ... | |
| Aragon 8008BB amp I've used the 8008BB to drive Thiel CS3.6's for the past 8 years, and I've been very pleased with it -- good soundstage and depth, tight yet potent low end, plenty of body in the midrange, and smooth highs. Very robust power supply -- 200W/ch into... | |
| Your experience with Thiel 3.6 I have owned the Thiel CS3.6's for the past 8 years, and I am very pleased with them. If you are contemplating getting a pair, I would make the following suggestions:1) The 3.6 has been criticized in some quarters as being a "bright" speaker. I do... |
