pops, if you are ever in Birmingham, Alabama then give me a call. I love my CS3.6s with my tube preamp and amp (ARC Ref 5SE, Ref 150).

Guys, the past few days have been an emotional roller coaster for us Thiel owners, but recent postings by Tom Thiel and reports from Rob Gillum are quite reassuring, to say the least. I would definitely be interested in hearing from anyone who has...

Prof, Thanks for the speaker reviews/comparisons. Also, your AR/CJ comparisons have me very curious. I'm going to try to find some CJs to audition which is tough to do living in the Deep South.

Arvin,I have been puzzled by prof's impression of AR tube amps, but I speak with very little experience with other tube amps since the only tube gear I have owned have been AR. I have moved up the AR chain starting with an integrated VSi60, then t...

nancygail....I have 3.6s and I hope I never have to have any repairs. I'm curious, what was wrong with the tweeter and what do you think caused it? Did you remove the tweeter and send just the tweeter?

This might not be the correct thread to ask, but I trust us reasonable Thiel owners. I have a hard time wrapping my head around some of the tweaks out there, including some of those made by my favorite cable company, Synergistic Research. I can't ...

prof,I negotiated an unbelievable deal on a new pair of Ultima Salon2s from HiFi Buys in Nashville. Believe me, I read all the reviews and I listened to them in their Nashville store with some high powered McIntosh gear in a large listening room. ...

We have a couple of new Thiel owners, so if you haven't seen this site, its a good start for understanding legacy Thiels.  https://coherentsource.wordpress.com/

arniespin,You deserve these because I did what I have done before....hesitated because of the distance between me and the 3.7s. I did not want to chance the shipping. I could not convince my wife that we needed a vacation to Tulsa. I thought I had...
