| Thiel Owners 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. ... | |
| Thiel Owners 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/ | |
| Thiel Owners 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... | |
| Thiel Owners Man, I almost had the Thiel 3.7s that were listed recently (type lis8790g in Audiogon search). We were working on how to get them from Tulsa to Birmingham before I made my final offer, but he sold them on eBay before we finalized. He told me tha... | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg,Tell us about your system or add a virtual system into Audiogon. I have never heard the 7.2s, but I have certainly entertained the thought of moving from my 3.6s to them. I would imagine they need a high current amp. I'll be interested in h... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny...I am perplexed that a small REL T7 subwoofer with a low frequency extension to 30Hz +/- 6db would be enough "to make me keeop the 3.6" which has a low frequency extension to 27Hz +/- 3dB. Where do you crossover? Do you think that by remov... | |
| Thiel Owners Hello all,I ended up buying a near perfect pair of Thiel CS-1.2s locally, just because they were such a good price. I first connected them to my main system and instantly was impressed with familiar Thiel sound. Obviously, they are missing the 25-... | |
| Thiel Owners Summer is going well. Working hard but finding time to play and listen.I never see Thiels for sale locally and now there is a CS1.2 pair asking $550 in addition to the CS1 for $225. I'm really curious to see how these sound in my reference setup c... | |
| Thiel Owners There is a pair of Thiel CS1.0s locally for sale priced at $225 that are reportedly in good condition. I'm thinking of purchasing these just to have a pair of vintage, early Jim Thiel designed speakers maybe for a second system. Does anybody here ... | |
| Thiel Owners Corvette01, I started my obscession in 2011 when my son gave me a subscription for Stereophile in a school fundraiser. Little did he and my wife know what they started. I purchased an Exposure integrated amp and CD player based on Stereophile budg... | |
| Thiel Owners corvette01, I was seriously thinking of making an offer on your 3.7s back when I first saw these, but I just couldn't justify the extra money for the Les Paul edition. At the time, I was about to buy a pair of 3.7s in Atlanta (driving distance for... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny, I have tried other solid state amps including Krell and Bryston with by Audio Research tube preamps, and ended up selling and going back to AR tube amps, now with a Ref 150. I'm always looking for better. Do you think the X250 would match ... | |
| Thiel Owners There was a pair of 3.7s Les Paul Edition speakers on usaudiomart a few months ago for sale for $6800. The ad expired (never said sold). Does anyone know if these ever sold. They were a nice looking pair. I can no longer repond to the seller, sinc... | |

| Thiel Owners Wow prof, "Audio Research preamps (slightly bleached tone to me)".To me, bleached means smeared with attenuation of dynamics. If anything, my AR Ref system tends to exaggerate details and dynamics, compared to live music. I just assumed that it wa... |
