Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work?

Thank you for the tip! I'll be contacting him soon enough. I have seen a couple of possibilities on EBay but the sellers weren't, IMHO, too trustworthy. I sent one seller a photo of my Thiel midranges to confirm that his were in fact original and he could not or would not offer an answer as to why the stickers on his did not have Thiel printed on them. Caveat emptor! Thanks again.

Hey Thiel CS3.5 owners - Thiel WILL repair them for $300 apiece plus shipping, etc. I guess their move made them slow in replying. For me that's good news because I feel the speakers are worth the investment I've already made.

^Good to know! But, $300 each is a bit steep.
Though it wasn't advertised policy, if the repairs weren't due to abuse, IME Thiel used to do repairs gratis, and only charged a house discounted shipping cost one(!) way, even for items that were past the generous 10 year warranty.
Man, I really miss Jim, Shari, Gary and the rest of the gang!

The Mac's with their autoformers won't double down into the 3.6's rather challenging load. Not what I would recommend."

I thought that was the whole point of using autoformers. The amp sees a consistent load.

As I mentioned, I like these speakers enough to warrant the $600 investment in having them repaired. I paid $800 used, so a total of $1400 for the pair strikes me as a reasonably justifiable expenditure. (Reasonable - ha!) I have since seen them less expensive on the "Gon and elsewhere, but mine were in near perfect condition - the grills were re-done a year before I purchased them. They're my favorites so far...quite amazing. My Pass X150.5 is a good match - I just picked up an Audio Research SS Preamp with balanced connections and I can't wait to see what happens.
