Thiel Owners
vair68robertRecommended as Thiel compatible .I guess that I will try to look at Thiel owners of 2.7 and 3.7 speakers ,since it seems that Cable compatabilty is dependent on the speaker model ( with the the amp powering ) .Or you can get some cable...

celoFor sure! 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
My original-version Perspectives certainly sound amazing!As do my Thiel 2.7s.  I switch between them.  Love the Thiels though when I listen to them I can miss the juicy, reach-out punchy quality of thePerspectives bass. 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
There was some discussion about the graphene coating and IIRC seas also emphasized it's use for preventing, I think, Oxydization especially in certain climates.  So I think there is truth to what gadios wrote.However, the new Graphene Seas drivers... 
Toole and why I like Tone Controls
Erik I agree that tone controls can make good sense and suit the needs or desires of many people.   And also I think the fear many audiophiles have of contaminating the purity of their signal are likely overblown.  Personally I’d never decry anyon...

Thiel 3.7s in Morado on ebay:https://www.ebay.com/itm/392661973017That's the finish I had. 
The best looking speakers
IMO none of the major brands come close to Jim Salk's speakers. His custom finishes look like museum quality furniture.His speakers often have attractive finishes to be sure.  Not always in love with the rest of the design.  For me finish and over... 
any Rethm owners out there?
Not an owner but I always wanted to hear Rethm speakers.  Such an intriguing design and I've liked aspects of lowther-type speakers before.I finally got a nice sit down to listen to various tracks on some Rethm speakers at the last Toronto audio s...

brayeagleI have briefly tried my subwoofers with my 2.7s.  It did add some bottom and depth to the sound (fairly subtly) though it didn't change the character to the way the Joseph speakers sound in the bass.I've had my subwoofers and an expensive...

I mentioned earlier I was putting my Thiel 2.7s back in my system after having spent quite a while with my new Joseph Audio Perspectives.I keep several speakers around because I always like some things about one speaker, others about another, and ... 
Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast?
@northmanIf you are in "speaker buying research phase" and considering the Joseph speakers, you may get something out of my speaker-mania search thread, where I described auditioning many speakers, narrowing down to Joseph or Devore:https://forum.... 
The best looking speakers
I agree the Gershman Avant Garde have a nice contemporary shape, though I always disliked the out-of-place-looking yellow driver. Looks like the "Grand" Avant Garde has some more interesting grill covers though. But their top of the line "Posh" sp... 
Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast?
Just to add another data point to the conversation.My local Joseph dealer is excellent and I have had good communication with Jeff Joseph over the past two years while I contemplated buying the Perspective speakers. I’d even asked Jeff about getti... 
Do they really make a difference? Definitive answer is....
sunnybakerI have certain and unequivocal evidence that high quality cables and interconnects absolutely Do make a vast improvementFantastic.  We've been looking for good hard evidence for years!  All we've had are audiophile anecdotes saying "I h...
