Thiel Owners

thanks @thieliste .  they seemed to do well with the Wilson speakers.  i must admit it would take a lot for me to give up my PS mono blocks and Pass XP22 pre.   i just like the idea of a simpler setup with less interconnects, etc.

@ronkent I agree it will be very difficult to find an integrated that can equal your pre-power.

The only one i can think of that i demoed in my system is the Audionet Humboldt but it is uber expensive.

If you do upgrade the crossovers on your 3.7 I believe that you would be the first to do so .

Also , I tried to keep the speakers facing straight ahead with 37" from the side walls, but the music just didn't sparkle almost a little flat sounding .  So being board, free and curious I tried a toe in of 1/2" and bam they woke up , so I tried 1&1/2" and boom to much so I've been listening to 1" toe in with great pleasure (but I might experiment between 1/2" and 1" ) .

@vair68robert my 3.7's are toed in maybe 1/2" tops.   i use a laser beam level and after removing the grills,   i put the tool against the front of the speaker and it usually bisects the opposite speaker about 1" back. i want each speaker to be toed in such that the opposing speaker shows 1" back from the front of the speaker.  i am sure that was clear as mud :)

Great to see you today. Thank you for offering your extensive Thiel Audio knowledge. There are not many Panel members here who have owned all of those Speakers.

Happy Listening!
