Thiel Owners

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to all of you Thiel audiogoners!
If you want good bass with the CS 3.7 medium size room with good room treatment and a solid amp is the way to go.
I personally wouldn't use them with a sub.

Excellent observation- thieliste,

I would not use a subwoofer as well. Happy New Year!

Gentlemen,

as we start a new year, I wanted to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for making this thread such a success in 2016.

It started off w/ post #1. Then reply #1 and completely took off on its own as others joined in to share their thoughts, impressions, even counterpoints and experiences w/ all things Thiel! Outstanding work- All.

Here's to even more success in 2017.

"I have shied away from Thiels in the past because there was always their reputation (deserved or not) that they were hot on top and because of the massive clean power needed to drive them. But now that Jim is not around it seems that their is a renewed interest in the speaker, a reverence being paid t the genius."

warning:  once you put a Thiel in your system you will always have one in your system!  :^)

I have owned a 3.6 and CS 6 for many years and continue to be amazed.  And it is also a misnomer that bad recordings will run you out of the room with a Thiel.  Any system that's not balanced in a room not properly treated will do that!  

The 3.7 is a great speaker, the only con I had was the aggressive price or I would have bought one.  My wife wanted to buy them for my 50th birthday.  I thought it was a great idea!   I spent a lot of time auditioning the 3.7 but could not go for 14K since I was so satisfied with my 3.6 and had the CS6 in my sights.  

The legacy Thiels are among the best values in audio - another consideration to get into the Thiel line - on second thought, all the high end ones are legacies - I mean prior to the dot 7's.
