I would like to once again weigh in on this issue as i have owned five different models of Thiel going back to the 2.0 and have used many different amps including modified Haflers (way back),  Audio Research,  Rowlands,  Quads,  Marantz Reference,...

Greetings:  I copied Paul McGowan on some of the concerns about matching Thiel speakers with the BHK 250 amp.  here is his response: "What is it they think disqualifies the BHK? You might mention that Tom Thiel has asked for a BHK 250 for his cont...

"Not to pick on any specific brands, but the some of the often recommended amps from companies such as Ayre, Bryston, Pass, PS Audio, etc. might work wonderfully with some Thiel’s, but are not designed or spec’d by those very manufactures, (in...

after 35 years of having Thiel,  I agree with Tom that the best sound is pretty much straight ahead,  or maybe a tiny bit of toe in.   i have my 3.7's set up with a distance of  9'  between the coaxes and 8' from my ears to the coaxes.   i got a l...

I agree.   i purchased two of the coaxes for the 3.7.  never have needed the lower drivers because in all my 30 plus years of ThIel ownership,   I have never damaged one.

just received this from Rob as well:  "hi Kent,  Hope everything on your end is going well. I did some research, and here is what I found. In January 2007 the CS3.7 was introduced (original version). On Jan 12 2008 revision 1 was introduced at app... 
Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators?
thank you.   i consider it an underpinning of a really good system.  I have not tried any by the other companies, such as Audioquest and Shunyata,  but they are conditioners and not regenerators.    
Who has tried one of the PS Audio Power Regenerators?
hi,   for me at least the power capacity of the unit ceased to be a concern with the P10, but the change in sound quality going from it to the P15 was stunning.  Like getting a new amp.  try this and then scroll down.   my name is Kent Tager and ...

FWIIW:   mine are 129 and 130 so very early.   I would call Rob Gillum and get his info on this.  when you say dome are you meaning the tweeter or the actual cap on the top of the speaker
