Thiel Owners

@duegi 

That's an amazing setup you have! Love the Mac pairing! I would love to go in a McIntosh direction with my Thiels. Perhaps I could find older Mac gear that would work for me and be somewhat reasonable price wise. Any older - yet powerful enough - suggestions, anyone? I’m wondering if a MC-252 might be good.

Down the rabbit hole I go…

Always wanted to try a pair of Thiel 3.7, not sure if the Luxman 590 would be a good match. Maybe the Yamaha MX-1000 would sound better. I'm using B&W 803 and feel maybe a change is needed.

Do you mean the ring on the outside of the driver that holds it on to the speaker?

@prof Bingo! The rings outside the driver facing towards us.

@webking185 I think it will be fine. However, I will look at other pairings that are rated 2 ohms stable as the 3.7 are quite a difficult load.

Hi guys, lately i've been auditioning 2 great integrated with my 3.7s the Audio Analogue Absolute and the Vitus SIA-025 Mk2.

After several days of compare my pick is the Vitus, it is smoother and more liquid sounding than the Audio Analogue both in class A mode.

My Cardas Clear Beyond cabling paired with the Vitus driving my 3.7s is spectacular and very engaging.

I'm seriously considering this demo Vitus 025 unit and put my Diablo 300 on sale.

Welcome! Good to see you today. The CS 3.7 is a wonderful loudspeaker. Both Luxman and Yamaha are Sonic matches. I believe that each amp doubles down from 8 to 4 Ohms.  This is a strong indicator for performance.  Keep me posted on your decision. I look forward in reading more about your a musical tastes and system plans.

Happy Listening!
