| Does anyone do off-axis listening as well as Magicos? Every speaker that I heard with the tweeter placed on top of the midrange seemed to sound good from many listening positions. The best being the KEF Blade. | |

| Thiel Owners @tomthiel @tmsrdg A big thanks for the posts about John Siau’s analysis and the hands on experience with the AHB2 + CS3.7. You guys just saved me a whole bunch of hassle. I can just concentrate on the single stereo amp and it sounds like I have a ... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound I saw your prior post on this and do have some concern that the amp may not work. Not a big deal if it does not, the CS3.7 is not going anywhere nor is the Benchmark stack. I plan on setting up 2 rooms once things get back to normal.The M... | |

| Thiel Owners @scubabird I think the KEF's are a bit like the Thiel's with the same type of tweeter and midrange combination (some similar sonic characteristics). I went from the Thiel SCS4 to the KEF LS50 and now to CS3.7. I preferred the LS50 in a smaller r... | |
| Thiel Owners I meant to say the new CODA #16 that is supposed to be super quiet. | |

Here is an anybody who thinks the KEF Blade for one is better than every Magico I have heard, from the A3 to top end Q series model.I like the Magico S3 MKII the best of all the Magicos I have heard. I have not heard M series. I heard these in the... | |
| Thiel Owners I want to ask folks here about replacement drivers for the CS3.7. I am wondering if I should buy 2 tweeter/midrange drivers and keep in storage for potential future need. I plan to keep this speaker of years. Does the replacement of the driver jus... | |
| Thiel Owners Let me chime in on the amp for the CS3.7. I will be getting mine on Saturday and will hook up a single Benchmark AHB2 ($3K) which has 194 watt at 4 Ohms. My room is small. I think the slightly warm top end of the CS3.7 will work well with the very... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I use my non-meta LS50's with very neutral gear and have zero fatigue. I listen a lot of hours while I work. The speakers will go into storage on Saturday to move in my new speakers, but I will never sell them, just love them. | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks guys. I sold my SCS4 about 6 years ago and was not expecting to get a CS3.7. However, room treatments and DRC have made the CS3.7 placement seem possible in my office. I also have comfort with how to resolve problems with the CS3.7 from wha... | |
| Thiel Owners Just bought a pair of CS3.7's. Going to drive and pick it up on Saturday.It has been 12 years since I demoed and wanted to buy the CS 3.7 and the stars aligned quickly this past 3 weeks. I was going to buy the Yamaha NS5000 for the office but the ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks guys for the feedback. Now let's see if I can snag one. |
