| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report ghosthouse...Spot-on appraisal of Elton John's earlier and by any measure best output. Only album left out could be "11/17/70", an excellent live in studio recording that I had written a review for my 8th grade English class. (Great record, and on... | |
| Dealers That Sell Large Volumes of Used Gear Online Hanson Audio - I think they're in the Northeast. (I'm too lazy to backtrack this morning.) Bought a Primare phono preamp from them for a little below their asking price a while back. They countered, accepted, shipped quickly, followed up, all the... | |
| Thiel Owners Just thinking about my old setup for a while today which results in my leaning toward Acoustic Research preamps with Thiel over Balanced Audio Technology, PS Audio, Musical Fidelity, and a couple of passives I'd ran through the Pass amp. To my ear... | |
| Thiel Owners Thiel CS3.6, # 3021 and 3022. | |
| Thiel Owners It IS so worth putting together a registry! | |
| Thiel Owners miyu...I don't find your AR/Thiel setup a mismatch at all. In the past I ran a couple of AR preamps, an LS2, then an LS2b, and an LS 3, and I found each to mate exceptionally with my Thiels. My listening levels are conservative to say the least. ... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...A little update on your personal quest? | |
| Thiel Owners michaeljbrown...It may well be that a lot more of the CS3.6's were sold than your 6's, but could it also be that people are way more reluctant to give them up? The only reason I sold off my 3.5's was to offset/fund the purchase of my 3.6's which... | |
| Thiel Owners Man, I'm feeling mighty pleased with myself here...First a musician relates that my description of Thiel's bass reproduction was an accurate description of it, then another post says I nailed it when I stated I find Thiels to be Maggies with bass.... | |
| Thiel Owners Nokonor... Yeah. Even though the eq was relatively unobtrusive physically, just having one more cord to plug in kinda bugged me - but the sound was impressive nonetheless. If I had the space to store them I would, you know, "just in case..."Plus... | |
| Thiel Owners I'll be discerning the date of manufacture the next time I look to swap cables or something, to move these 107 pound Easter Island totems right now is just too much to ask of my back at the moment!By far and away the midrange on these vs the 3.5's... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily... $1200 seems to be the price around where the 3.6's hover - and usually in lesser condition than the ones I just got. That figure was pretty much my budget, or at least what I was willing to spend. When these came up I simply said ... | |
| Thiel Owners More kudos to the guys at Saturday Audio - the speakers were over-the-top well packed, almost to the point of overkill. Save for some very minor slackening of the grill cloth and some signs of being moved on the bases they are in perfect condition... | |
| Thiel Owners PS SIDENOTE...Just to illustrate how very cool this site can be and how useful this particular thread continues to be, I have to relate a short back story on my purchase of the 3.6's from Saturday Audio Exchange in Chicago.Within a day of purchas... | |
| Thiel Owners Woohoo - my 3.6's are arriving between 9:00 and 5:00 pm today via UPS freight.As much as has been said about placing loudspeakers in general, I got out a tape measure just to see how mine have been placed since I moved into this house 22 years ag... |
