Reaplce Thiel 3.6's Tweeter

Same goes with me, I agree with them completely. If you like you could try some felt if you like around the tweeters and if you don't like the change just remove. But to try another tweeter in place of the Thiels? Better to just purchase another speaker if your not happy with the top end.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I had tried Threshold SA-4e but the tweeter were just too clear for me. Then I tried Silverline Sonata I which did not have enough bass for my taste.

Unsound, what amplifiers would you recommend?

Schipo, what speakers would you recommend?

Thansk again!

Every component and cable is a little on the sharp side for a neutral/unforgiving speaker like thiel. First thing I would try - go to copper cables, I'm assuming yours are silver. Next, I would plug the amps directly into the wall and out of the chang pc. You will tame the tweeter some and get some body in the presentation.

This seems to me the most inexpensive way to possibly improve the sound and decide if you want to stick with Thiel. You almost need to build a system around Thiels - they will either punish you are greatly reward you.

I've always had a tube preamp in the chain and recommend that with Thiels. Next is a SS amp with alot of clean power like Mcintosh, Classe, or CJ...those are the only amps I have alot of experience with but they all work exceptionally well with thiel.

My final suggestion...don't give up on your Thiels.

Just to state the obvious: have you asked Thiel? One reason why the tweet may sound hot is the soft xover -- if you're a diyer try a 8-10ohm resistor on it. If NOT a diyer DON'T do anything. Just place the 3,6 w/out toe-in, then slowly introduce toe-in ~80 degrees b/ween the two spkrs or to wherever it starts to become too hot for you.

BTW, the 3,6 are not the easiest of "affordable" spkrs to drive...

I can only say since you seem to like cones you might want to try Thiels more expensive model's, or maybe move to a planer speaker. Would all depend on your listening room and type of music you enjoy. I have found the best way to enjoy your system don't fix it unless it's broke.I have been using the same speaker for around 5yrs and still enjoy them very much. I found just moving them and room placement with an eye on room acoustic treatment as helped greatly.
