Yes i sold my Thiel CS 3.7s, owned them for 5 years.Looking for something with the same refinement but a big step up.Thiel CS 3.7s are very difficult to beat when you drive them with a Gryphon Antileon Evo i can tell you.Right now i'm looking at Borresen 03s, YG Hailey 2.2s and Verity Sarastro lls.My room will be a dedicated listening room and i have a solid budget for pre-power, source and cables.

By the way i live in Europe not in the US ... Looking for something with the same refinement but a big step up (from the Thiel 3.7).
It will help to know how large your room is (will be) and your musical preferences...


Based on personal experience, the following speakers impressed me favourably playing large orchestral music & blues -- they all comfortably outperform the Thiel 3.7s great though they may be:
  • Vivid Audio Giya series (1, 2, 3 depending on size of room)
  • Magico M series (2, 3 or 6 depending on size of room)
  • Wilson Alexia
  • Devore Urangutan Reference
  • Zellaton Stage or Plural (depending on room size)
Enjoy the search!



Room 15x21.I listen to pop-rock, electro, classical, blues, jazz and world music.
