Thiel Owners

If you email Thiel through their website with your serial numbers, they will tell you the day they were produced. My 3.6s were completed on 5/22/1996. It's a testament to their quality that they are in such good physical and mechanical condition after 21 years.

Thanks! for sharing- jonandfamily

20 years is a long time for a pair of speakers. I certainly would like to hear your system anytime.

Happy Listening!

Happy Friday! ALL -

I'll be discerning the date of manufacture the next time I look to swap cables or something, to move these 107 pound Easter Island totems right now is just too much to ask of my back at the moment!

By far and away the midrange on these vs the 3.5's is significantly different,  the treble is perhaps slightly less "etched" as well; mind you that neither opinion is anywhere close to being a negative.  Voices in particular are almost startlingly lifelike - just listened to some Simon and Garfunkel as though hearing some things all anew. Methinks the slightly larger cabinetry - 7 inches taller, 4 inches deeper at the base, might have something to do with the midrange emphasis over the 3.5's. Obviously, the drivers and crossover difference does as well. 

As did the 3.5's, the 3.6's absolutely excel with jazz.  I like trio and quartets for the most part. I've been digging deep into Monk as well.  

I'm thinking monoblocks already...

Kidding!  Enjoy the weekend!

Enjoy enjoy your new speaks!  My fav thiel, I also have CS6 and prefer the 3.6 for all the reasons you mention.
