Thiel Owners

@tomthiel, I was replying to @jafant 's suggestion that the 3.7's abilites to better fill larger rooms would then "require"  larger rooms and more power for the 3.7's than the 2.4's. Where as, I am suggesting that the 3.7's slightly larger size and slightly greater bass output, can work just as well, if not better in most of the same rooms for most users as the 2.4's, and do so with nearly half the power of the 2.4's.

tomthiel - Thanks for the clarification and update.

unsound - Yes. My 3.7s sound fabulous in a 20 x 20 x 8 room in an open floor plan (no full wall between that room and next, etc.) powered by two AHB2 monos. Not a problem.

@tmsrdg , at the risk of appearing to be just contrarian; I’m of the opinion that the brideged AHB2 monos might not be the ideal amplifiaction for the the 3.7’s

Thiel CS3.7 Owner’s Information (Page 10 of 25) | ManualsLib

Benchmark AHB2 Power Amplifier – Benchmark Media Systems

The bridged Benchmark amps are not spec’d below 4 Ohms, and even at 4 Ohms don’t follow Thiel’s reccomendations for doubling down.

The 3.7’s have a minimum impedance of 2.8 Ohms.

While Tom Thiel’s above post above is spot on re: musical content and lstening levlels, the 3.7’s  with differernt amplification that had better current delivery would be better suited to maximize the 3.7’s potential.

The bridged mono AHB2's might be better suited to speakers that though less sensitive have a higher minimum impedance.
