Thiel Owners

nkonor,

Thanks.  I realize I should have asked:  Which Thiel speakers did you own?

Had Thiel 3.5s. Reference in their day. Midrange to die for. Tried to replace with newer Thiels and they all did a lot right, but none had that 3.5 midrange. Just my 

nkonor...

Good point on the 3.5's midrange.  I find that the 3.6's,  for lack of a better term, seem to over-emphasize the thick of the midrange while the 3.5's offered a more "spacious" replication? I also notice a more evident, but typically correct feel for the bass - particularly at the conservative volume level I listen at. Nothing I've tried to put a finger on rings as a coloration of the sound, rather a considerably larger speaker's difference compared to a smaller one's.  The 3.5's may have measured a little deeper with the bass, but I feel it more with the 3.6's. 

As I've said in the past, "what's a few hertz here or there amongst friends?"

Are you using a sub with the Avalons?

Good to see you- prof

Happy Listening!

Right On! nkonor-

Happy Listening!
