| Thiel Owners Seem to have a sound approach about amplifiers and I'm pretty sure you both have one or two. | |
| Thiel Owners Good to see you Dave. I think I will seek amplifier advisement from both you and unsound the next time I get hit with the itch to change. | |
| Thiel Owners Prof,Very interesting evaluation. My thoughts on the 2.7 as compared to previous models was that is was "smoother and more lush" as you say about the 3.7 in comparison. This is good stuff....I am appreciating your evaluation as are all reading thi... | |
| Thiel Owners The angle makes quite a difference in my experience.... | |
| Thiel Owners ProfHappy Day! Glad to see you are enjoying your delivery.Glad you found the bass satisfactory and noted differences between the two. Just curious though - how is the tilt as compared to the 3.7? | |
| Thiel Owners As a 2.7 owner, I don't think you will be missing much as compared to the 3.7. I never heard the 3.7, but I find the bass satisfying. Actually, when I auditioned them I was very surprised by the bass, much better than I expected. (Although I do... | |
| Thiel Owners The 3.7 went for $4,750.00. The listing was for local pick up only in Georgia. | |
| Thiel Owners Congratulations on your new addition! Larger room is always better and I'm sure you will see that after the move. I hope you still have the tube amp and try it after your move, but Ayre makes excellent products. | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 or McIntosh AMP What are you not happy with? I think you could use a larger amp, but only if you are not happy with the dynamics - Tough to beat the 3.6 with 3-4K, they are such a great value. If you are looking for a better sound, try some room treatments. Much ... | |
| Thiel Owners Guys - Just saw a pair of 3.7 on eBay. Some dings and scratches, but there are still some to be had in the used market.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thiel-CS3-7-Loudspeakers-Cherry-Finish-Cosmetic-Flaws-Local-Pickup-Only-/252... | |
| Thiel Owners I think prof meant that cables are not THE most important piece and I would have to agree. My thoughts are speakers...I would rather listen to Thiel with a receiver and lamp cord than a horrible speaker with a good cable and a receiver. | |
| Thiel Owners Just an FYI guys...There is a set of 2.4's on eBay.Atlanta and local pick up only, but perfect condition.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thiel-CS-2-4-Floorstanding-Loudspeakers-pair-Walnut-/222483512083?hash=item3... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgny We will wait in anticipation for your first impressions! I myself have not had the opportunity to hear he 3.6 and was always wondering of comparison to other Thiels since rated so highly by Stereophile mag. All different drivers and no eq, ... | |
| Thiel Owners oblgnyThat is a coincidence...My previous surround system had all Alon speakers. Very nice sounding. Smooth and open....but not Thiels as you said.I still have all of them and need to sell eventually. I have the Lotus Elite fronts (Saloon door loo... | |
| Thiel Owners prof - Don't sell!They don't make them anymore and it will be rare to find again. You will surely regret the sale and try to find another pair. THERE AREN'T ANY MORE. |
