Thiel Owners

Prof, 

Audio memory from at least 15-16 yrs ago is on a macro level for the 3.5s which I had for 7-8yrs. At least once a yr. I would blow a midrange or tweet. Kathy Gornick would have the replacement to me before I could get the driver boxed and to the Post Office. You remember things like this!

Guys,

In general the 3.5s were the Thiels for me with a pair of Forte' model 7 monoblocks and then "Magic" with a pair of Spectral DMA 90s used as 200w monoblocks. When Kathy sent another midrange and a letter saying; No more drivers would be replaced under warranty!  (Panic) I sold them and moved on.

It was sad when Kathy left Thiel. She was the best.

Wow.  I've never blown a driver in any speaker.  You must enjoy loud listening levels!!!!

Guys,

Also, took me about 4yrs of Sonus Farber, ProAc, Wilsons to finally settle on the Avalons w/ Spectral DMA 360s ; now with my current setup.
All of you have been taken by Thiel legacy Speakers. I agree ; They are great Speakers for the $ on used market.
 
Nkonor; myself, I needed to move on. 
Beat to All on this Journey 

Nice points/counterpoints- Guys.

On occasion, like nkonor moving to Avalon, I have read about previous Thiel owners moving to an Eggelston, Magico or Verity Audio speaker.
It does not happen often (leaving Thiel) and making a lateral move.

Marten speakers also come into my mind as well. 

Does anyone know how a Thiel would fare w/ Spectral, Souloution, or Vitus Audio gear?

Happy Listening!
