Thiel Owners

I currently own the 2 2s. They are fine speakers, but I have a chance to buy a pair of 7.2s. My plan was to upgrade to the 3.7 if/when a suitable pair comes on the market. I'm seeking advice on the relative merits of buying 7.2 now, or waiting.  Many thanks for any comments.

tmsrdg,

Tell us about your system or add a virtual system into Audiogon. I have never heard the 7.2s, but I have certainly entertained the thought of moving from my 3.6s to them. I would imagine they need a high current amp. I'll be interested in hearing from others.

FYI...there's a pair of 3.7s now listed on Audiogon.

jon,
My system: besides 2 2s, Classe ca-300, Rotel RCD 990 as transport into Berkeley Alpha DAC Series 2, Bybee power conditioner, Magnan cables.
Listening room: 20' x 20'

prof,
Thanks -- I did see that listing. Unfortunately, black is the only color option for these speakers that won't work.

Hi jafant! Yes this hobby is all about music and friends can only help broaden tastes.

It took me many years of climbing the audio ladder, far too many, before I was realised what I was looking for in music reproduction. Until then, the whole upgrade thing was always strangely unsatisfying despite great magazine reviews.

Nowadays I am still interested in potential improvements to my system, eg loudspeakers such as the Thiel 3.7s as mentioned by prof, but I do love the sound my speakers and amp (modded Tannoy Berkeleys and Creek something) are making.
