brayeagle,Yes, still have the 2.7s.  But I've been promiscuous in listening to my other speakers as well, lately.andy2,I even heard this mild hollowing-out interference a bit with the Thiel CS6 when I had it.  Not nearly as bad as the Meadowlarks....

oblgny,Many of us are familiar with the sometimes odd and painful realm of selling and buying equipment.I sold whole bunch of equipment over the last year (much of it shedding components I haven't been using).   When I was selling my Thiel 3.7s I ...

Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
I listened again to the Personas today - 3F. (Bryston amplification)Also the B&W 803D3.I found myself underwhelmed.  The B&Ws sounded more refined (even if they too have a sculpted frequency response), the Persona's sounded somewhat opaque...

WarrenYou are preaching to the converted about the quality of old Thiel speakers.  In this very thread I've blabbered on about how much I love my super old pair of Thiel 02 speakers (circa early 80's).   I sheepishly admit sometimes preferring lis...
