Thiel Owners

Much Thanks! for the kind words- oblgny

I would suggest a demo if possible on a pair of CS 2.7 or 3.7 only for the fact that those last driver designs prior to JT's passing are a little different from his older (including my CS 2.4SE) drivers/designs.

Personally, I have not heard his design(s) outside of the "CS" series.
Still, from you guys that own and cherish those vintage models, I venture to report that the time/phase coherency is in full effect.  Very impressive!

Having heard and spent time w/ the CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7, I can easily report that all of those models are outstanding in their own right.
I chose the CS 2.4 SE as I found it to be a little sweeter on all fronts, plus, my listening space (not large enough) to provide the 3.7 its proper due.
Another factor would require a monster solid state power amp over-and-above for the 3.7 model to really "sing".

Yes, by all means, get out there and listen to those 2.7/3.7 models as they appear in the used market. Between Audiogon, eBay and Craigslist, the odds are favorable that you will find one.

I will continue to do my part , like robinbarbour, to report them as they pop up for sale.

Happy Listening!

A last word on the 2.7/3.7 models;
these are not inferior speakers by any means.  They continue the Thiel tradition in spades. On other forums that offer advice on JT's designs, the 7.2, is very highly regarded as the best speaker he ever built.

Happy Listening!

For now, updated system page

Thanks! for sharing- nkonor

nkonor,

Sorry I haven't followed your posts in this thread, but do I understand correctly from your last post:  You've moved from Thiels to the Avalon speakers?  Is that right?

If so, how do they compare?

Thanks.
