Thiel Owners

Thanks! for sharing- spenrock

can you tell me and the guys here about the Krell and Classe' amps used by you guys?  Cabling is the most important factor as well. Happy Listening!

It's been a long while, but I think the Krell amps were KSA-50, KAV-500 (bridegable multichannel). The Krell KAV-300i (integrated) was used with my friends 3.6s for many years, and he liked the setup. However, last time I saw them, he was using the Classe CAP-151, which he likes better.

Shorter auditions with Classe amps were the CA-100, CA-150 & CAP-2100 (int). 

Cabling, I don't know what my friend used. Myself Polk Cobra, Oyaide (sorry don't know the model. Very quick, but perhaps a little light in the bass), DIY twisted and braided kinda like Kimber.

I have spent some times w/ Classe' separates, but never their integrated amps. Same w/ Krell. There are so many good choices.

Most like the newer Krell Vanguard. I do not know if Classe' still builds an integrated or not?  Cabling is the most important and often forgotten facet, as it ties an excellent system, together.

I need  a pair of the C's 2.4 as I bought a ss2.2 suggest has cs3.7 as a front and C's 2.4 as surrounds will be looking

Does anybody know whether Jim Thiel ever played around with the idea of an active loudspeaker?

I've wondered about frankensteining something in the CS6 form factor, consisting of the CS3.7's crossover, coax, and woofer; and the PX02, SS3's amp and 12" subwoofer replacing the passive radiator. 

Goofy i know, but was thinking that if Vandersteen was actively doing it (pardon the pun), whether it would work...
