Thiel Owners

tomthiel, very cool story, thanks for sharing!

Wonderful info Tom.

The Amberwood CS6 is still one of the best looking speakers I've ever seen, let alone had in my place.

BTW I also own some old Hales Transcendence speakers in what they called the Pau Ferro finish, and they look beautiful - similar to the Thiel finish.

Coda CSiB integrated amp has been in my system for two weeks now, and I couldn't be happier; delivering the best sound I've ever heard from my CS 2.4s. A significant step up from my venerable Bryston 3Bst / BP20 combo.

Two word description of the sound - melifluous and holographic. Silky smooth with a huge soundstage, wide and deep, extending well beyond the speakers. The amp is very quiet. Presentation is relaxed, but with an abundance of detail and nuance.

If anyone is interested, I've posted updated pictures and info in the virtual systems area.

Another +vote for a fascinating Thiel Audio history lesson.  Thank You for addressing the veneer-procuring process.  It appears that Amberwood is a popular finish among The Panel.

Happy Listening!
