| Thiel Owners Yes - it’s kind of amazing given the age of these speakers. My only “want” with the 3.6s would be a tighter bottom end. I’ve had the 3.7s in my room and they had way better base-to-mid-base definition and control, however the vocal range sounded s... | |
| Green Mountain Audio's Calypso HD Speakers? Thanks for all the feedback guys.I'm in the process of trying to decide next steps and find "the search" isn't as much fun as it was when I was much younger. I'm starting to think that staying with what I own now may be the best option-but that as... | |
| PMC Speakers This "hobby"/disease/perversion/OCD/etc. is so dam addictive! However I've found it's not as much fun now that I'm "over-50" in having to drive long distances to far-away dealers, having to be subjected and get past the BS that many dealers push a... | |
| Thiel Owners jabThanks for the offer ;) but I'll stick with my Thiels - unless I decide to look for a pair of 2.4s/2.7s/3.7s. I still haven't made a decision because I haven't been able to get past the uncertainty of knowing how the newer models will sound wit... | |
| Thiel Owners Listening to some speakers at a dealer (a former Thiel dealer) recently, I mentioned that I've owned Thiel 3.6s for 21 years and recently had my amps updated, upon which he replied that Thiels are real "amp killers." The dealer stated that since ... | |
| Thiel Owners thielisteInteresting -- I had never even heard of Aries Cerat Concero 65 monoblocs prior to reading your post. I checked out the website and their products do indeed look very interesting - but way beyond what I'd be willing to spend -- and I re... | |
| Thiel Owners jafantThanks for your feedback. I agree that I could have experimented more with positioning when I had the 3.7s for audition but was somewhat limited by time. I hope the issue is not a speaker-electronics mismatch because I don't have any plans t... | |
| Thiel Owners prof,thanks for your comments on the CS3.7s. I've spend some time reading old posts on this forum and paid attention to your many past comments. I see your long history and experience with Thiel speakers and with the 2.7s vs. 3.7s - and your trava... | |
| Thiel Owners prof — jafanti tried to contact jserio (selling the black 3.7s) through US AudioMart to ask some questions but he didn’t reply. I question whether the speakers are still for sale. One concern I have with the 3.7s (and also 2.7s) is that when I l... | |
| PMC Speakers ...so I guess there’s no substitute for listening to as many speakers as possible - yet we still make the “wrong” decisions too often. It’s pretty much a no-win game - listening to different speakers driven by an almost infinite number of componen... | |
| PMC Speakers TwoleftearsI’m driving my Thiel CS3.6s with a Naim NAP300 amp - it drives the difficult load of the Thiels very well. I believe the Thiels are the only Speakers on your list that have first order crossovers. Do the B&Ws, ProAcs, or PMCs do as ... | |
| PMC Speakers TwoleftearsI’m driving my Thiel CS3.6s with a Naim NAP300. This amp drives the Thiels very well. It’s interesting that you switched from Thiels to several other brands - none of which has a first-order crossover.I like speakers that can accurately... | |
| PMC Speakers MilpaiI completely agree that listening to any speaker is a must. I’ve read many opinions in these forums on various speakers and disagree with some and agree with others. There’s no substitute for listening to any speakers of interest. The proble... | |
| Green Mountain Audio's Calypso HD Speakers? abbeydogThanks for the feedback on GMA speakers and your Calypso’s. I didn’t realize this model was around for ten years. GMA seems to have discontinued many of its speaker models — the Calypos seem to be their main speaker. I was intrigued by th... | |
| PMC Speakers There’s also the possibility I’ll just keep my Thiel 3.6s since I have to get the tweeters rebuilt. Decisions! |
