| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? Interesting thread bump. And quite an education in how differently people can see things.d_edwards for instance saying the CS6 was a step backwards and the worst speaker Thiel ever made was bizarre. I'd compared it to the various Thiels up to th... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I had to get rid of one of the most beautiful speakers I’ve ever had in my room - a pair of Audio Physic Scorpios in perfect room-matching ebony.I bought them because I’ve always loved audio physic speakers, the reviews were excellent, and they we... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily.Wow, you got rid of the Revel Ultima Salon2s? Those are among the most universally lauded flagship speakers! And you probably know they were designed via the blind-testing facilities at Harmon. There's a big thread on them, along w... | |
| Thiel Owners I've had pretty much all my speakers shipped, usually from the USA to Canada. So far no problems, but I have to say if anything is going to cure me of my speaker obsession it's shipping and receiving - I think I'm done shipping big speakers! Wha... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily.Man that's ruff! I can't believe they sold for that (admittedly, the lowest Tier finish but still...) I absolutely hate missing out on gear like that, which is why I often take a hit in paying more than others will if I really want ... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers Sound good, price is right. Who cares what they look like.Well, some people have taste. ;-) | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I'm very into the aesthetics of a speaker. There's nothing more droolworthy, gear-wise, than a beautiful speaker to me. Of course if I don't love the sound, the looks are meaningless in terms of my buying a speaker. I especially love the mating... | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? stringreen,I'd surmise that would be true of the current Thiel owners, but Rob certainly has cared about us Thiel owners. In August he was letting me know he had spare parts for the legacy speakers. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? Thanks very much for Rob's info, tmsrdg!I haven't been able to get in touch with him recently via email, so it's good to have a phone number. I really have to figure out which Thiels I'm keeping so I know what spare drivers to order! | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? unsound,For those of us unfamiliar: Could you explain Bill's relationship to Thiel?Did he work for Thiel and might he have spare parts? I don't see Thiel listed under the brands he services. Thanks. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I'm sure it depends on which MBLs. I have the 121 monitors and have found them very easy to place in my room (13' x 15') for great sound. But then, I have a good sounding room. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? peter s,I'm sure it depends on which MBL speakers you are talking about - though all are very low sensitivity I *think* they tend to not have crazy impedance. Given my experience using Conrad Johnson amps on my MBLs I'd guess that VAC amps, espec... | |
| 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. |
