Thiel Owners

Good to see you- prof
Glad that you continue to enjoy your CS 3.7 speakers. JT did make quite a musical statement w/ this model. Keep posting listening thoughts and impressions.

Happy Listening!

Hello Jafant and company,

Reading through this entire thread, I feel as if I know you all well by now!

My introduction to Thiels came via a beautiful pair of CS 3.5s that I quickly fell in love with. Since then I've had my eye on someday owning the elusive 3.7s. Well that chance finally came a few days ago when I bit the bullet on that black pair (Sorry, Jonandfamily... Hope you get the next pair!)

Was originally going to do a road trip from NYC to pick them up in Tulsa, but ended up having them shipped.. Yikes!.. Fingers crossed that they make the trip safely. Will report back when they arrive.

As you may have read have been an ardent proponent of the 3.5's here, recently acquiring a pair of elusive (for me) 3.6's that somehow came and went now and again until I bought a pair from Chicago.  Yikes!  Shipping!

All the previous models I owned I bought semi-locally, the furthest being my first pair of 3.5's which were located in Massachusetts. The others were within about 50-75 miles from my house. I was fearful of having them shipped and when 3.6's came around most were across the country - so I balked time and time again. 

Then the pair of 3.6's popped up for $1300 in Chicago.  I hesitated. Then I figgered it might be my last chance. They strapped 'em to pallets for $300 and...well, I finally got 'em. 

As a means of relating how cool this thread is, I had a fellow member on the site contact me to say that the speakers were in excellent shape. He lives about an hour from the store that I purchased from and went to check them out himself. He had no interest in telling me that other than being a Thielista himself. Cool stuff. 

Welcome - hope they show up perfect!

I've had pretty much all my speakers shipped, usually from the USA to Canada.  So far no problems, but I have to say if anything is going to cure me of my speaker obsession it's shipping and receiving - I think I'm done shipping big speakers!  What a hassle.
