| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Thanks again Tom. Any info on the accompanying gear, particularly as it relates to your experiences with the 7.2 would also be welcome, if you get the chance. Right now, you are the most informed person reporting on the new 3.7s and your comments ... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Great to hear from Tom regarding the 3.7 and the 7.2 -- this is the sort of comparison I've been waiting for, thank you. Sounds like the 3.7 is a real advance if it can compete with the the 7.2 and yes, it also seems that in time a new updated 7.3... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 I notice from the Thiel site that the CS7.2 model is no longer listed - guess once the 3.7 is out (any month now!) then production on a new super speaker might be announced......CS8? | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Aha, someone else has heard them....does this mean Thiel have finally started shipping? | |
| Austin, TX Any life in the Austin group?? | |
| B&W Nautilus 802D, Wilson Sophia 2, or others? It is interesting how different perceptions can be. I have heard the Sophia 2 and the Watt Puppy 7 on several occasions, the last driven by EAR tube gear. I also have heard the 802D driven by McIntosh SS monos. Different rooms, different gear, and... | |
| Tube amp for my A.P. Scorpios??? Not exactly on the amp topic but I just heard a pair of AP Scorpios at a local dealer. He added an REL subwoofer to the set up about half way through and I thought it really made the Scorpios blossom. My preconception was it would just add deep ba... | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield Crutchfield also offers the Marantz Reference series SACD players and amps, and now PS Audio Gain Cell pre/power amps and cable.......and yes, it still sells car stereos which I guess is causing some people's rigid views to go all wonky. Having de... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro OK, this is late but I auditioned a pair of speakers in a dealer's house (he works from home). These were in his listening room and are his demo/personal use pair which he is not selling. He does not keep a lot of stock other than what he displays... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Well, they do now offer PS Audio and Marantz Reference series amps and SACD players, all offered with 30 day home trial and true no quibble returns -- what's not to like? What's next from Crutchfield....tube amps? I am just pleased to see high end... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 FWIW, I contacted Thiel on this question exactly (comparing the 3.7 with the 7.2). Their answer was that the 3.7 was an improvement in all areas over the 7.2 except in bass depth and large dynamics. In frequency response, clarity, spatial fidelity... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Has anyone heard these speakers??? I see now Crutchfield is selling them (and PS Audio products too).... | |
| Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room I listened to a pair of these in a dealer's room last week -- the room was probably a little wider than yours and certainly the ceilings were higher (probably 10ft) but it was not a longer room -- I thought the X-2 looked so imposing in that space... | |
| Anyone used mini tnt feet on Scoutmaster VPI have now replied -- here's the advice:"The down facing 1/4-20 bolt on your table is part of the original rubber system. The whole rubber part can be unscrewed from the chassis by pulling and turning the bolt counterclockwise. Pulling the bolt ... | |
| Anyone used mini tnt feet on Scoutmaster thank you Pmotz -- you are certainly correct.Given the size of the replacement feet it is almost certainly the case that more than screwing off the coned feet is required. I do indeed have a rubber isolator on the plinth containing a down-facing t... |
