Thiel Owners

You might check out my setup in my primary “Virtual System”. After having high powered Krell, Bryston, McIntosh etc with my 3.6s, I’ve been very happy with Audio Research tubes on amp and preamp.

I started with VSi60 integrated amp with KT 120s, then Ref 110, Ref 75, Ref 150 and now Ref 250 mono amps. Each amp had classic ARC sound with huge soundstage (tall, wide and deep), separation with precise imaging and I think you’d be surprised at how well the VSi60 Watt integrated amp drives the big Thiels in spite of most recommending high powered solid state amps. 

@jonandfamily have you tried the 3.6 replacement tweeter?  If you did do you have the measurements with the OEM tweeter vs the replacement soft-dome?

Good to see you here today. A very nice journey and upgrade path over the years.

I will check out your Virtual System page.

Happy Listening!

My pleasure.  Keep me posted as you replace the 3.6 tweeter.

Happy Listening!

I replaced with the soft dome tweeters over a year ago, acquired through Rob at Coherent Source and I'm very pleased. Very similar sound with subtle decrease in sibilance. I have not done any REW measurements.
