Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7

FWIW, I contacted Thiel on this question exactly (comparing the 3.7 with the 7.2). Their answer was that the 3.7 was an improvement in all areas over the 7.2 except in bass depth and large dynamics. In frequency response, clarity, spatial fidelity and efficiciency they believe the 3.7 is the winner. OK, that's their view.....they still don't expect to ship for a few weeks but Crutchfield are now taking orders :)

Aha, someone else has heard them....does this mean Thiel have finally started shipping?

I notice from the Thiel site that the CS7.2 model is no longer listed - guess once the 3.7 is out (any month now!) then production on a new super speaker might be announced......CS8?

Great to hear from Tom regarding the 3.7 and the 7.2 -- this is the sort of comparison I've been waiting for, thank you. Sounds like the 3.7 is a real advance if it can compete with the the 7.2 and yes, it also seems that in time a new updated 7.3 (or equivalent) utilizing the latest Thiel technology will push the envelope further. Tom, did you go back as you stated for another listen? If so, please do report when you get a chance.

Thanks again Tom. Any info on the accompanying gear, particularly as it relates to your experiences with the 7.2 would also be welcome, if you get the chance. Right now, you are the most informed person reporting on the new 3.7s and your comments are much appreciated.
