Thiel Owners

For long posts that take a while to write you should enter them in notepad first and then paste them into the web page when you're finished.  That way if something goes wrong when you push post you won't lose it and can just do it again. 

@jon_5912 Stereophile measured the CS3.7 impedance as low as 2.2 Ohm, so even the more powerful AX-5 might be a marginal match for big rooms or loud-preferring listeners. Still, I'm surprised the AX-7 didn't at least deliver good sound at moderate SPLs.

Wes Phillips used several amps for his CS2.4 testing including a vintage Fisher measured at 6W into 4 Ohm!

. . . while not my first choice for the job, did not acquit itself too badly.

But for his review of the CS3.7 he used the Ayre MX-R and Musical Fidelity Nu Vista (480w into 4 Ohm).

Thanks Tom.

Just to be clear, when you write: <i>"38" ear height is design target."</i>
Does that design target assume the speaker is on spikes or not?

If I may:
that’s the ear hieght
(+/-?) of the typical seated listening position.
