Thiel Owners

bighempin,

Sounds fun. 


But who is "JA?"

Also, about the tweeter, from my experience having had dented tweeters before and talking to manufacturers about it, a dented tweeter doesn't necessarily result in audible problems in sound quality.   I've had what looked like a seriously dented tweeter, but the speaker sounded the same to me, just as good, before  I fixed the dent.  (And the manufacturer indicated that would likely be the case too).

thielliste,

Yeah, the Thiels seem to perform well with tubes IMO.

As to SS, from my experience I can only say that 250W of Bryston power drove some Thiel CS6s that I had very easily.   The 3.7s should be even easier to drive.

If one has a really big room and listens really loud, that could change.  But then, moving between 250 W to 300, or even 140w to 300, is a very modest increase in actual available loudness potential.

Sorry about that! JA is Jafant.

bighempin,
Ah, thanks.  Good to see you are having some help with your system.

Careful...spend too much time together and you'll soon be spending lots of money on cables ;-)
