I picked my bryston 3b st to drive my 3.5 and with a impedance of 5, and worked out really well. For my 3.7 I have decided on the 7b St monoblocks that I will run in parallel bridged mode, resulting in 500 Watts at 3 ohm and all the current that c...

Yes, brand new, old stock. Low volume sounds great with my amp, better then high volume when it starts to be a little bright. All the reviews about the quality of these speakers are raving and I can only agree.

Hi guys (and gals) I'm happy to announce that I'm now the proud owner of a new set 3.7 nos. It was the last set that Rob Gilliam had and I'm breaking them in with about 50 hours on them. I have to take back my earlier opinion stating that the 3.5 ...

Tom, glad to hear you have thought of a way to continue to service the mid drivers for the 3.5. I hope that Rob will find new cones and coils when his current supply runs outThese ideas about possible new developments with Thiel become more realis...

Please keep exploring options to improve the 3.5 including sourcing a durable mid range driver. As Tom reported before, it's only time before we run out of replacement kits. Several options have been indicated in the past but the specs of the 13m1...

Noticed that the 3.5 has no internal braces like many of the newer models. Is that an issue?  
Thiel Owners
I looked into the Thiel subwoofer and was reminded by Rob that he can't service them if there ever is a problem. Fyi

I think the Bryston 7b St with the serial and parallel setting represents a solid neutral amp that allows for regular and low impedance speaker comparison and identify issues due to impedance.

Great to hear that you are reconsidering creating an upgrade for the 3.5 I'll be curious.

I'll be happy to consider supporting an affinity group that might obtain the property and other rights of Thiel llc. Anyone else?

Thanks for sharing. Hope this condition will improve soon. No reason to withhold your astute observations and sharing. Certainly reminded me not to take my hearing for granted and protect them from overexposure.

I have used a 31 ch. Equalizer, dbx1231, and been able to make some room corrections, of course within reason. These EQ have a balanced out, is that what you are wondering about using 2 EQ? By the way, in my experience, the mid range or higher did...

If you like deep bass, can be happy with moderate loudness, and don't want to worry about having a high power amp, the 3.5 Will Serve you well. Replacing the thiel equalizer  with a 31 1/3 Oct. With a dbx 1231 or a Rane mx60 is a good option.

Just wanted to make the point that the 3.5 is much easier to drive then all the other thiel speakers if not too loud.

I need to comment that the 3.5 are so easily included with all the other models in the 2 and 3 series even though the design and specs are considerably different. The min. Impedance of the 3.5 is 5 ohm, not the 2 or 3 ohm range. All the need for h...
