Thiel Owners

Happy Friday! All

As I have reported numerous times….

The 3.7s worked great in my modest sized 15’ x 13’ listening room.  They were the smoothest top to bottom sounding speaker with the best controlled bass I think I’ve ever heard.

Photo (I had to sell them for a smaller speaker because as you can see here, they made getting in out of the room a bit awkward):

Also, in terms of amplifiers : my Conrad Johnson premier 12 monoblocks - 140 W/side of push pull tube power - drove the Thiels effortlessly with punch and control… and would certainly go much louder than I would care to listen.  They were one of the best speaker/amp combinations I’ve heard. 
 

Slightly downsizing to the  2.7s made a significant difference in terms of aesthetics and ergonomics.  Again, they sound spectacular with the Conrad Johnson gear:

My newer Joseph Audio Perspective2  speakers fit the room even better:

But I’m never parting with my Thiel 2.7s!  I like to be able to switch between the Joseph and Thiel sound.

Agreed. The CS 2.7 is the perfect loudspeaker for your 15x13 room.  Conrad Johnson gear adds sizzle to the set-up.

Happy Listening!

this Ad must be viewed for the true Loudspeaker lover. Over on U.S. Audiomart there are a pair of original Wilson WAMM Serial #2 speakers. Located in NC. Enjoy!

Happy Listening!

Hi all.  Question for the esteemed group in this thread. I have a chance to purchase a pair of CS 3.6.  Drivers are reported to be in great shape and to sound great.  No reported work to any of the drivers or crossovers.  Some minor cosmetic items (mainly small scratches) closer to the base of the speakers, but sides and top look good.  I’m not looking to compare them to the 3.7s or 2.4s, etc.  Simply are these at $1200/$1300 still worth owning?  Or have we made so many leaps forward in speaker research and production since the mid-90s that these are now a relic?  Of course I’d listen/demo before purchasing.  Trying to decide if I should make a short trip (1 hour each way) to demo.  I have plenty of current (which I know these need, so no worries there).  Would love the feedback of this group of Thiel enthusiasts.
