By my A’gon membership count I’ve had 5 amp and preamp combos since joining the site, and that doesn’t account for purchases off the site. I think it makes 9 or 10 total. Could be more.
I’ve had three - count ‘em three - pairs of CS 3.5’s, one pair of CS 3.6’s, and I forget my first three pairs of pre 3.5 Thiels. I am truly an audiot.
I still have the guts of my last pair of 3.5’s, drivers, crossovers, nameplates, which I offered to someone here free if they can be picked up, but I forget to whom I made that offer. Consecutive serial numbers, but the midranges on either do not work. Hello Rob Gullom? VERY much worth having them repaired.
As I’ve said before, one does not simply purchase Thiel, one invests in Thiel. Discovering Thiel on the used market has allowed me to experience what high fidelity is all about at a fraction of the original cost.
