| Thiel Owners Thanks for the well wishes everyone. (Tom, I'll check out vitamin B. The therapy I'll be undergoing already involves a tiny "leap of faith" ;-) )Dan,Wow, you are a fellow Thiel nut! Until recently I had three Thiel speakers myself - 3.7, 2.7 an... | |
| Thiel Owners Hope you are well and enjoying this Fall season. Thanks jafant.But...as it happens...I’m not doing terribly well, in a way pertinent to high end audio and music. And if my post count here starts to drop quite a bit, there’s a reason.I’ve had pret... | |
| Thiel Owners "It is kind of a tragedy that the 2.7/3.7 coax isn't being produced any more."I share that sentiment! | |
| Thiel Owners dancastagna,I'm a bit unclear about your post. Do you mean you already have the 3.7s and 2.7s, and yet are contemplating buying yet another pair of 2.7s...or the CS6? Do you mean you are running your current 2.7s with solid state and want to tr... | |
| Thiel Owners I see a pair of Thiel 2.7s in gorgeous birds-eye maple, for sale on ebay right now:https://www.ebay.com/itm/232972524856What an absolute bargain for a speaker that beautiful, and of that quality.As a 2.7 owner I can't recommend these beauties high... | |
| How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener. mrdecibal,No problem. Sorry, I was just pulling your leg a little. I'm sure you listen to a wide range, and even if you didn't it wouldn't matter - it's no one's business to tell us what we like to listen to. (I listen to some stuff that other p... | |
| How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener. Because we are all different? And have different musical and listening criteria, different financial means, etc.I have a friend who feels exactly the way you do about his system. But it does very little for me at all. BTW, that’s a pretty classic ... | |
| open headphones AND speakers = Wow ha, that actually sounds pretty awesome. And I could swear something similar happened to me once where I heard both the headphone and speakers going. | |
| Thiel Owners jon,I agree. And that’s something I’ve been on about often in this thread. My Thiel speakers get out of the way of the sound, from top to bottom, to a degree no other speaker I’ve owned could manage. There’s just an evenness and control that leave... | |
| Thiel Owners andy2,I think I get where you are coming from.When you really look in to what Jim Thiel was doing - the clarity of his design goal, and then the obvious challenges it presented, and then the absolutely clever way he continually improved the design... | |
| Audio Note AN/E vs. DeVore O/96 @tinear123,You may want to look at my (long) thread comparing various speakers I auditioned. It's heavy on the Devore 0/96 and 0/93 audition notes, but I also mention my reaction to auditioning the Audio Note speakers.https://forum.audiogon.com/d... | |
| Thiel Owners There's a pair of CS6s on audiogon right now. For anyone wanting to get in on the Thiel sound I highly recommend them. When I had them in my home they were stellar; still one of the best speakers I've ever had.(And sounded wonderful with tubes!). | |
| Have you ever reversed your opinion on a piece of gear? Interesting question. I think I'd have to answer: No.My general assessment of a piece of gear has always remained fairly constant. Even when it comes to speakers, if a speaker doesn't have an "it" factor for me very quickly, I never really f... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, It sure is. Reminds me of the Soundstage review of the Joseph Audio Pulsar stand mounted speakers. To me, and to the reviewer, they look like normal, elegant little stand mounted speakers, with par... | |
| What is wrong with Audiogon Forums? This forum has been BRUTAL for weeks now. I've had to try to reload 50 percent of the threads, several times, in the past hour. When are they going to fix this???? (I can almost guarantee when I submit this I'll get an error!) |
