Thiel Owners

I've had good results with Harmonic Tech and Acoustic Zen, namely the Sartori.  They added a warmth and fullness to the Thiels.  I eventually switched to MIT magnum during my last year or so with my Thiel CS 2 2.  Both brands worked really well I felt depending on which amp I used.  Hope that helps.  By the way, I miss my Thiels.  They certainly may be in my future again if I get a larger listening room.  Take care Jafant and enjoy your journey!

Many Thanks! Carmenc.

I know you will return to Thiel someday.

Nice thread!  I've actually been thinking about "where are the Thiel owners these days?" as well.

I was on here quite a bit last year as I fretted about which set of Thiels to buy.  Huge fan of the old CS6s, and struggled between buying a second hand pair of the "newer" 2.7 or 3.7.

I ended up with a nice pair of 3.7s from audiogon and have had a great time pairing them with my CJ monoblocks and even sometimes with my tiny Eico HF-81  (flabbier bass...but oh that huge, golden Eico midrange combined with the Thiel clarity and transparency is pretty magical).

I've got them working very well in my smallish room, very even sounding, no bass bloat.  But at this point I'm wondering if I might have been better off with a pair of 2.7s that I had been interested in.  They had my favorite composite ebony finish.  They would have probably been a better fit aesthetically for me.

So sad the real Thiels are no longer....

(And the Thiel website doesn't even seem to be up to date or working either.  I wonder how they are doing).

I just noticed that Thiel has a Facebook or Tweet account.  Perhaps you can get in touch with them there,
