Thiel Owners

The easiest to drive Thiel speaker I've ever used or heard of is the older Thiel 02 speaker (which I still have).  90 db sensitivity, easy impedance load, these things live and breath almost like a high sensitivity speaker, even with lower powered tube amps!  Still sound absolutely gorgeous.

corvette01-

where are you located?  I have enjoyed reading your input on this particular thread! Keep writing and Happy Listening!

As William suggested a few months ago- you guys list the serial numbers for your Thiel speakers.  As above, I would certainly keep those Les Paul Edition 3.7 speakers.  A very rare production model indeed. Beautiful as well.

Happy Listening!

Jafant,I'm right outside of Chicago.Thanks for complements.I really do enjoy audio and have for along time.I just wish I could have learned more sooner,would have saved a lot of money!My Thiels are the best and the worst speakers I ever heard!Every change,good or bad makes a difference!I still have noticed more of a difference changing preamps rather than amps.Im burning in new rocket 44 cables and a big sur off my dac,so I need to leave it alone for awhile.I started thinking about selling xpa 1's to go back to one amp?I didn't get the wow factor going to monos,but my 805's are really happy with them!

Has anybody used a class d amp with Thiels?Ive heard technology has come along way.Thiel rep told me to look for an amp that doubles down,not limiting current.A lot of respectable amps still don't,but some class d amps do.Not fully doubling down is why he didn't like Emo amps,they don't.Xpa 1 is 600 at 8 and 1000 at 4, no 2 ohm rating,limiting current he said!
