Thiel Owners

Excellent info- richardp01 & catalysis.

it is important (to me) in getting the air and space around instruments, right!
My Thiels really impressed w/ it inherent timbre- something I never experienced in any other speaker to date.  Both Verity Audio and Magico is on my list to demo, at a substantial price increase.

Happy Listening!

oblgny-

As a natural (The) Cream fan, I must check out your strong suggestion of Ginger Baker's "Why".  I know his "Air Force" albums are regarded in the Jazz world. 

Is this your reference disc?

Happy Listening!

jafant, If you like air and space; try Spectral- you will have what you like. Magical Thiel 3.5s and Spectral 

jafant, I would concur about timbre. It's a quality I've only heard to the same sort of level in electrostatics. In fact, owning Thiels changed my long held perception that only electrostatics could create that illusion to the same extent.

It's the consistency of the 3.5's that just blows me away. They've handled every type of musical program I've thrown at them with equal aplomb.

I keep coming back to this, but it is a tragedy that Jim's design ideals aren't being adhered to any more. Here was a guy who dedicated his life to better sound and, I believe, took his designs to places that other speakers could only dream of arriving at.

It's the balance of their overall qualities that makes them the best value you can find. I'm constantly amazed by the relatively low prices on the used market, when they trounce so many grandee speakers.
