Thiel Owners

Thank You for another Thiel Audio history lesson. As above, the Black satin finish looks very nice. A Black matte finish would also look very nice.

Happy Listening!

I would imagine that Jafant’s suggested satin black might be particularly handsome.

I like the satin black finish as well. My satin black Thiel sub is beautiful.

In terms of room size/speaker positions, I’ve played around with my 3.7s for quite some time and have settled on the following in my 15x20 room:

Speakers are placed along the long wall 32” out in front (measured from the rear of the speaker), 8.5’ between (from tweeter to tweeter) and approximately 5.75’ from each side wall. My listening position is 9’ away with a little over 2’ of space behind me. I have found this to be the optimal positioning for my room.

In terms of R2R Dacs, I recently updated to an MSB Analog DAC. Significant improvement from my Ayre QB-9.

I just found some photos of a Satin Black CS3.7 and it does look real sharp.

I am going to the paint store today and will decide between the Satin Black or a Matte Black that perfectly matches the aluminum shell that I spray painted with Krylon Acrylic Lacquer paint (#1613).

That 15 x 20 room sounds ideal for the CS3.7.
