Thiel Owners

@tomthiel as an owner of a number of Thiels (3.7,2.3,SCS2,SCS4) I am excited to hear about your plans, and fingers are crossed for your success.

But I really have to, and hate to ask, any plans for improvements on my beloved 3.7s? I need these to last forever!

tat - a geometric problem deserves a geometric solution. Since the CS5 baffle was cast, the complex curves only had to be created in the pattern. I was perplexed that Jim never went there.

@beetlemania. Sorry for the delay in responding.  The Treos are quite good at portraying round, live instruments in space.  The sound gets out of the cabinet and lives in the room.  Which is wonderful and one of the qualities I love about Thiels.  Compared, for example, to a pair of Harbeths I heard recently, that sounded nice, warm and relaxed, but boxy.  But the Vandys tilt to the lean side, lacking in the upper bass-low midrange perhaps.  So they don’t give me the weight, authority that I want, especially at the lower volume levels I am listening at more and more.  Sometimes I just want more of the belly of a sawing double bass.

Your ears do not deceive. I, too, found the Quattro and Treo speakers on the lean side. And lacking weight in the Bass region(s). I would be interested in learning why Richard voiced these (2) models that way?

Happy Listening!

this tidbit just crossed my radar -Audiophiledirectory.com

Tom, this site is quite helpful and very informative. There is a Dealers search engine that can benefit as you map out your strategy for Thiel Renassiance.

Happy Listening!
