jafant, those are the ones arniespin bought about a month ago. I guess he never took them off Craigslist.

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...

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...

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...

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-...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...
