Thiel Owners

Hello. 

Has anyone here conducted business with High End Audio Auctions on eBay?  They’re located in Brooklyn. 

Reason that I ask is because they list a pair of CS3.5 currently.  There’s no mention in their listing if the EQ is included. I just sent an inquiry to them regarding that.  

I loves me Maggie MMGi’s but I can’t wait until I toss a pair of Thiels at my Belles 250i Integrated. Man, this is a remarkably musical product.  

Tweeter for 3.5 was the dynaudio D28a. And the successor. Still show up on eBay at times and Rob G. still had a few available not that long ago. Substituting a driver is more complicated then it appears, although the Tweeter replacement might be the easiest to match to the original.

I have not had any dealing w/ High End Audio Auctions in Brooklyn.Read over the eBay feedback- people are pretty honest over there.
I can relate to your musical impressions on the Belles 250i amp.Earlier this year, I felt the same way about the Ayre AX-5 Twenty Integrated amp. I kept arriving to the same sweet conclusion = Musical!

Happy Listening!

3.5 experts - Thank You for addressing the Tweeter issue / solution as posted by harrylavo.  This model could very well be the most popular loudspeaker discussed here. There is something to be said for classic gear.

Happy Listening!

Thank you. Now that I have a better feel for what the 3.5s can do (I am absolutely thrilled) even when underpowered, I'll back off to the 40 hz and play them with an even lighter touch, especially on the bass heavy stuff. I will admit that without the EQ at first I wasn't quite as gentle, but still not at all heavy handed - Jack Bruce, tympani, and the rumble of Mahler and Wagner were still phenomenal. I'd rather not deal with disconnecting everything to take the integrated to a dealer, I'll just disconnect the EQ when I want to play bass heavy music at lower levels or connect the DAP. Still have LPs I haven't played in eons. Everything just sounds so wonderful and musical on the 3.5s, except of course for poor recordings. The 3.5s have spoiled listening to them for me, Disraeli Gears import LP, you know who you are.
