Thiel Owners

Absolutely! corvette01-

good to see you and a nice score to boot. Will your CS 1.6 speakers go in the 2nd system?
Happy Listening!

Agreed William,
a damn shame about Saab. I owned one back in the 80's.
A fun car to drive and could weather any road conditions.

The new iteration of Thiel has probably reached a point of no return.
As luck has it, there are a plethora of original JT designs in the secondary market. Happy Listening!

Yeah, there will likely always be old Thiel speakers available on the second hand market. But Jim’s last great Thiels, the 3.7 and 2.7,* are damned rare on the market now. I’ve been keeping track. When I look at my 3.7/2.7s I think "whoa I’m lucky to have these."

And that was reiterated once again as I was out speaker shopping this week. I heard more contemporary speakers from $4,000 up to about $30,000 and none of them sounded to me as good as the Thiels. What a crazy bargain the 3.7 was in particular.

(*I know the 2.7 was partially designed after Jim's death, but it obviously carried on his work).

Jafant,
I re-did everything again.My 3.7's are with my xpa 1 monos just for 2 channel now. My 805's I'm using for home theater .I  had to find a use for the 1.6's so surround rears they are.My rear channel never sounded this good!I feel like I got my 2.4's back,only smaller which is good!Every squirrel finds a nut sometimes!

jafant, Unlike us ,"socialist" Sweden refused to bail out anyone in the 2008 melt-down, not Saab, not Volvo not the biggest bank in Sweden.
No public debt for private losses .
