Prof,yes nothing but stories is what I got,wasting my time!I wanted a cash,local sale only and I'm sure that didn't help!Not everybody has 7k for used speakers!Also the finish is not for everybody!Not every wife what's Jimmy Page in the living room!Mine likes the finish and said not to sell them.Listing them for free on usmart was a mistake.I should has listed them here!

I've come to terms with the 3.7's.Garbage in,garbage out.ive realized that not everything will sound good on them!They add nothing to the music.Sometimes there is very little bass,then I change the song and say where did all the bass come from!Its that dramatic.If its there they will play it,if not it won't. |
I hear you corvette01. I had to sell my Harbeth Super HL5 Plus speakers recently, wanted local sale (I'm in Canada) and it was all the local sale people who hummed and hawed. Ended up selling them to someone in the USA. Though, literally 1/2 an hour after I secured the deal to ship them to the USA, the local guy got the money to buy them. Would have been soooo much easier, but I'd already committed to someone else. I'm going to have to go through this again, probably not that long from now, when I decide whether to sell my 3.7s or my 2.7s. |
Prof,I had people from NY,Florida,SF,and Canada beg me to ship them.Add said cash and local sale,will not ship.finally someone with real money in Texas wanted me to ship them and I said no!I wanted cash in hand when they left my house!I guess that was too much to ask?If the got damaged,there isn't another pair.Maybe keep both pair,one upstairs and the other pair downstairs?👍 |
Oblgny, I would have to nominate the CS 2's as the easiest Thiel's to power (and most reliable): https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs2-loudspeaker-measurements Most of the earlier CS 1 series were amongst Thiel's easiest to drive as well. Though the 3.5's impedance does climb just where the eq does it's stuff to help mitigate the eq's 12 dB's boost at the 20 Hz setting, well, that's still demanding of an amplifier. |
