Anyone audition the new Thiel 3.7s yet?

I've spent several hours with them. Very nice. If you do a search there is a thread comparing them with the CS7.2s.

They showed the 3.7 in Taipei hi-fi show. From the show goers, most were impressed by the sound and found them to be very coherent, fast, and transparent. Though not too many cared for the styling. I did not bother to spend time on 3.7, I will never buy a pair because of the styling.

To give you some references what were shown at Taipei hi-fi show, almost all of the big names were there. Wilson X-2 + Goldmund, JM Labs Grand Utopia Be, Avalon Isis + Hovland, Dynaudio Master Evidence + ARC Ref 610, MBL 101E, Burnmester, Rockport, Gryphon, and on and on.

By the way, I love the look of the 3.7, which is more impressive in the flesh than in photos. It's a real knockout IMO.

I agree, the speakers are very good looking in person.

I heard them at my local dealer and was quite confused with the sound. Overall it was very uneven with great clarity in some areas but at the expense of any sense of warmth or continuity. The dealer was rather laid back about my comments and said to check back after 3 weeks of break-in, but that they agreed at least this pair wasn't cutting it yet.
