| Thiel Owners jafant...I saw a couple listed here and wound up somehow on TMR's site on a subsequent search for the VK300XSE. While I would love to have the time sufficient to visit dealers and audition stuff, plain fact of the matter is that I just don't. I bu... | |
| Thiel Owners dlcockrum...Precisely! At the low levels I listen at 90% of the time the 3.6's just don't provide what you described whereas, IMHO, the 3.5's did - thanks in part to the bass equalizer no doubt. This "little" REL has truly made the 3.6's sound b... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily...I think it's a little of both. I'll check my settings on the REL to be certain. | |
| Thiel Owners unsound...No problemo. My offer stands until you decide if you'll pick them up or not. If you don't I'll just part them out somehow. Have a great Labor Day weekend, all! | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? Like jond, I'm in the wine business. Have been for the last 35 years. Does wine complement music? Yup. I spend way more on audio than I do on wine simply because I get my vino cheap. JJ Prum Kabinett with Joni Mitchell. Any Port with Tom Waits. O... | |
| Thiel Owners PS: I'm awaiting delivery of the BAT VK300XSE. Dual mono/phono stage/tubed front end/factory recertified for 5 years. I'm almost pinching myself. In fact, I am. | |
| Thiel Owners audiojan...Leaving Thiel is a frustrating task, albeit one that I've personally managed to do a few times simply out of curiousity if nothing else. Obviously for sonics I definitely recommend Maggies - they still command an attraction for me that ... | |
| Thiel Owners unsound...A few posts back you mentioned that you might be interested in the pair of 3.5's I picked up for a pittance?After repeated trials I discovered that both midranges were failed, no sound. (Although I almost hate to admit it they still soun... | |
| Thiel Owners Not at all odd that the article neglected/omitted mention of any personage responsible for building/designing the products. Such is the failure of attempting to perpetuate the history and legacy of a brand simply by badging the name onto products... | |
| Thiel Owners Hmmm...After some soul-searching and a week of updating my kitchen which adversely affected my audio budget, keeping the Simaudio appeared as the wisest and most frugal/sensible option at hand for the moment. That, and a brand spankin' new Weber g... | |
| Thiel Owners Just discovered that the left mid is not working. May send off to Rob @ Thiel. Still checking. | |
| Thiel Owners Well, I picked up the CS3.5's today in NYC, drove home, swapped the cables from my CS3.6's and...The cabinets are quite rough in some spots and the grills could definitely benefit from a re-do, but all the drivers are sound and the sonics are, as ... | |
| Why is modern pop music today so terrible? I've somehow arrived at an age where-in I find myself at times lecturing the younger folk around me about how great music/radio was back during my time. It's difficult to check myself but I do. I sound boring. Attended a wedding for a couple of ... | |
| The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Absolutely one of my all-time favorite songs, but the recording itself is pretty muffled, sounding like there were socks on every mic in the studio whether on lp, cd, or streamed. But that doesn't matter a whit - just turn it up to 11 and dig it l... |
