| Thiel Owners Still loving both speakers. I have the 3.7s running again and after two years they still blow my mind. I also crank them quite loud when I'm listening outside the room (they are down just a short bit of hallway from my computer chair). They... | |
| Thiel Owners I've never blown a driver in any speaker I've owned in my whole life (and that's a lot of them). Some people either have bad luck, or like their music super loud I guess. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Rob Gillum has been very helpful to me since I bought my 3.7s a couple years ago. He was in touch as recently as last month to say he had parts for the 3.7s. Though I have not been in touch with him since. | |
| Thiel Owners Oh man, that interview with the new CEO!She kept talking about how the company had to remember they are a "speaker company" and that was their identity. Said it numerous times.But when it comes to speakers what does she say? Aside from a pair of... | |
| Thiel Owners The first post-Jim Thiels actually got some good reviews. I really think they may have done better under a new company name. I think putting them under "Thiel’ actually hurt them, because the whole reason Thiel’s name meant anything had to do with... | |
| Thiel Owners Anyone visit the current Thiel website lately?Boy it's depressing. It looks like a company that is almost gone, like a generic web site selling over the net lifestyle products:https://www.thielaudio.com/I went through it wondering "where are the ... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? The OP has posted only 5 times in the last 7 years, started 4 threads with a perfect record of asking a question and then disappearing.Wish I checked before bothering to answer. Boo! | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers soundsrealaudio,That is perfectly understandable. A dealer or speaker manufacturer at a show is there to show the product in the best light possible. It's a show to benefit the manufacturer/dealer, not set up for attendees to do their shopping.O... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? LOL, I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about until I finally saw the word "car" at the end. I'm not a car guy. But whatever that meant, you have my sympathies :-) | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? dlcockrum,Talking about "stupid money.."I once had a chance to bid for a once-in-a-lifetime priced MBL 101Ds (I think on audiogon). I was in a bidding war and put in my last bid, way leaping over the other guy, in the last 10 seconds or so. A so... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I’ve been a huge fan of MBL since the late 90’s, when I heard the first truly realistic rendering of drums and especially drum cymbals, at a CES show. It blew my mind how much more natural and realistic the MBLs sounded vs everything else at the s... | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg,I hear you. My listening room is a main floor room which I try to maintain as the nicest looking room in the house (first room you see when you step in our door). Aesthetics are a high priority so I always insist when I can on waiting on ... | |
| Thiel Owners FYI...there's a pair of 3.7s now listed on Audiogon. | |
| Thiel Owners kevinaudio,Given you've expressed some reservations about spending too much on speaker cables, if you want to get off that merry-go-round you can always get professional, competently made cables by Beldon which will pass all the same electrons as ... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny,I agree the Meadowlark speakers can be wonderful. I’d listened to most of their models (when they existed) and ended up with the Blue Heron speakers at my house for a while. IMO, The Meadowlark sound was characterized by a natural organic w... |
