Thiel Owners

Nice to see that CS 3.7 manufacturing video again.  Been a while since I'd watched it.

BTW, I finally got around to trying my borrowed Bryston 4B3 amp on my Thiel 2.7s.   Have only gone through a few tracks back and forth with my CJ amps.  Short version:  I prefer the tubes :-)

I had a Bryston 3B-ST and a 4B-ST and they were a little hard on top. I would not like it paired with my current 3.7. I also had a 7B-SST and even that was a little strong on top and I would not pair it with the 3.7. I did pair the 7B-SST with the SCS4 and it was a little too bright on top. I believe the SCS4 and the 3.7 has similar COAX drivers (maybe not the same). I get fatigued easily so others may not have a problem with the ST or SST. 

If you wait a few more months the Purifi modules with 1000 watts into 2 Ohm should be released by Bruno et al. The goal of these Class D amps is to remove a 0 from the price of amps. It should be a great match with the 3.7. The NAD M33, which was Stereophile's 2020 product of the year, has the first iteration of the Purifi module. 

Other manufacturers are pumping out quality Purifi amps for $3K and under price. I am waiting on the next more powerful Purifi amp for my 3.7's. They are supposed to sound like my great Benchmark AHB2 amp.

Purifi modules? What current amps have this? 

NAD M33 - I may have a listen to this tomorrow at the local shop.

NAD has 2 more Purifi products a 7 channel and a pure 2 channel. They are working in close collaboration with Purifi.

I spoke with the owner of March Audio in Australia and they are given high marks on ASR web site for quality products. I was thinking of getting this but went with the Benchmark AHB2 before I bought my CS3.7.

There are other Purifi based amp builders, The ASR web site has good discussion on these other manufacturers.

I was discussing amps for the CS3.7 with a guy from Brazil who has the CS3.7 and has tried a few amps with them. He is also waiting on Bruno to release the next iteration of the more powerful Purifi modules. For me, after the AHB2, any future amp has to be silent.

I started a thread on A’gon earlier in the year titled, "Removing a zero from the price amps". A lot of info posted on that thread about Purifi.

Anything on the a21? The article there they used it on the thiel 3.7
