| Thiel Owners hi Gentlemen, Thank you for the input and comments. A special shout out to Jafant for maintaining this thread, and to Tom Thiel for all his wonderful advice and input. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom. Rob was a great guy and i enjoyed working with him. my 3.7's came from his inventory back in 2018. I met Gary about 2010 (or thereabouts) when he was visiting the local Thiel dealer here in Greensboro. Also a terrific guy and it ... | |
| Thiel Owners There is a pair of 3.7's just listed on AUM as of today and are located in MA. | |
| Thiel Owners I have not been keeping up with this thread but noticed that Gary Dayton's name was mentioned a few times in relation to CSS. Is Rob still there or has he gone on to another career? | |
| Thiel Owners Greetings Thiel fans, I wanted to share that 2025 marks my 40 year anniversary of owning Thiel speakers. Cannot believe it. 1985 cs 2.0 1989 cs 2.2 2007 cs 2.4 2015 cs 2.7 2018 cs 3.7 I am very interested to hear from anyone that owned 3.... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist @larsman thanks. I have to say The Dreaming is a very close second and in many ways is a more interesting album. Have been a fan since about 1985 so she is not a "new discovery". but i could not leave her out of this discussion. It is amazing... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Also check out Jo Harrop and her album Path of a Tear. | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Great thread. I may have missed her name but possibly the most creative and innovative female singer/songwriter of the past fifty years is not on this list. She is a truly acquired taste but well worth the listen: Kate Bush is her name and most... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Spacebird, I have owned five generations of Thiel speakers since 1985. 2.0 (1985), 2.2 (1989), 2.4 (2007), 2.7 (2014), and now the 3.7’s (2019) I would second Tom’s suggestion, but if you can swing it, go for the 2.4’s. A truly wonderful speak... | |
| Thiel Owners hi VR68, that is so interesting. I am going to study that more intently. and TomThiel, thank you so much. I am not that adept at doing that kind of project but will tell my friend Bob about it. Maybe the truth is that he and I both just like... | |
| Thiel Owners hi Tom, thank you so much for your response to my post about the mods i did to the coax of the 3.7's. To clarify it was Rob G who suggested this tweak if we found the top end to be a bit bright and he sent me four 3 ohm resistors to try along w... | |
| Thiel Owners Greetings Thiel fans, I wanted to update you on a modification that i made (with the great help of my friend Bob M. who did most of the leg work on this). This was inspired by a suggestion that Rob Gillum had made to us in putting some three ohm r... | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? There were many comments above that recommended the PS Audio BHK 300 mono blocks and I had a set and they were terrific. same for the Coda 16 which is my current amp and is an even better match with my Thiel speakers. i have not heard the newer ... | |
| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's @Mahler123: that really shows how those things are so bogus as @walt8489 stated above. At least on Amazon as far as i can tell, they let all reviews come through good or bad. | |
| Bogus Ratings for MOFI SACD's I do need to be clear about something. MD was very gracious about allowing me to exchange the disc for something else. My gripe is that they are not letting negative music reviews on their site. Now i have to wonder about all those four and... |
