Thiel Owners

dlcockrum...

I'll turn 60 before the end of this year so the prospect of switching out 60-75 pound amplifiers or even heavier speakers on the timetable I have been using has gotta stop!

unsound's suggestion regarding mono-modding the eq's for my 3.5's is a much physically easier upgrade path for me - as are jafant's cabling posts.  
 
My choice of amplifiers IS done. Speakers?  I most definitely would consider moving up to CS 3.6's if any become available. I would have bought a pair of CS7's listed here for $1750 but the gent wouldn't ship them. Anyone in Florida reading?  The listing ended but...hoping he'll re-list. If yer down there scarf them up!

oblgny,  Let me guess; you bought an eq for Thiel 3's instead of 3.5's? The 3.5's eq was a nice upgrade over the 3's eq. I have admit, considering how the eq works, the bi-wireable binding posts on the 3's  would appear to be a good option with eq. On the other hand, Audiogon member Lrsky, who used to work at Thiel around that time has claimed that the eq works beyond the bass spectrum, which would negate that consideration. While I don't doubt the sincerity of his assertion, I haven't seen anything that would confirm it.
 Have you reached out to Pass Labs or Thiel yet?

oblgny, I would caution you on assuming that the later Thiel 3.6's are better than the earlier 3.5's. Many would agree with that, but I don't. I much prefer the earlier 3.5's, much like I prefer the earlier 5i's to the later models.
