Thiel Owners

Welcome! ranchhand1

Thank You for your contribution to our thread. I wonder if anyone is enjoying Thiel speakers prior to 1986?

Happy Listening!

1986-

is the year that I had a personal discovery in better Audio via a Yamaha stack at the local mall stereo store (remember those?).
I wish that I could recall the speakers and cabling used ?

Happy Listening!

In 1986 I'm afraid I could only afford a receiver and no separates. I do remember at that time I had a set of Phase Research speakers (Phil Clements) that I was smitten with....I had not heard Thiel yet since no dealers nearby.
There were Audio Stores everywhere - ! My best buddy Ron was also an audio fan and we made many, many trips out of state just to listen to brands not in our area. Come to think of it, he was with me the first time I heard Thiel. He was not as smitten with them as I was and ended up with B&W. Dahlquist was on my short list until I heard Thiel.
Good memories.....

Thanks! for sharing- robinbarbour-

what year did you discover Thiel speakers? For me, it was 2012.
Yes, I had B&W 805 speakers back in the 2000's. Fine speaker for a standmount monitor.

Back in the 80's, late 80's to be sure, all I could afford was mid-fi Sony.
Even that Yamaha stack was out of reach.  No complaints though-
the Sony gear got me from 1988 to 2003.

Happy Listening!
