Thiel Owners

Saw Simon over at Audio Consultants yesterday where they are in process of cleaning up what little they have left. In case anyone is interested, among the leftovers was a pair of Thiel SCS3 speakers.

@tomthiel, I guess you like the flat drivers. :-).
The other reason I’d be some what less interested in an updated 3.6 is the amplifier straining impedance load, without the redeeming lobing fix.

Unsound - again I agree. I suppose “maddening” is the word I would attach to Jim’s insistence on such low impedances.

I believe that a peer would have been good for him, his products, his company, and its future. But he never found that place. We all make our way the best we can. Thiel Audio carried him pretty well.

Thanks for the warm welcome. 

I checked the model number last night, and I stand corrected. The correct model is 03A. 

I have reached out to Mr. Gillum and will keep the group posted.

I have these paired with an Electrocompaniet integrated amp. I play vinyl from a VPI Scout and digital streaming using Audirvana running on a mac mini. My tastes range from Lucinda Williams to Led Zeppelin to Max Richter to Mark Knopfler and all points in between. And I am always looking for new music to listen to. When I first brought the Thiels into our living room, I played Lucinda's Rescue from her album West as a demo for my wife, and she just stared at the speakers and smiled. Scuffs and scars and all, they are now a part of our decor.
