Thiel Owners

I recently purchased a pair of CS 2.7 that I am running with a peachtree nova 300 and accessing Tidal as a source. I found the highs a little bright and the lows so so.

I've not heard this amp but class D amps are reported to be generally less musical (albeit gobs of power for a low price). You might try a solid state design from ARC, Ayre, Classe', or Pass (among others). In the meantime, make sure your placement and room are optimized. Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" is a good place to start without spending a bunch of money.

@jafant  greetings,  i am not sure of the cables but i know he likes Clarus.   the Magico guy was there to make sure it was done right.  they are probably the most accurate speaker i have ever heard,  but again, they are in another price league from used 3.7's (mine came from Rob G).  i think at this level,  i could be happy for many a year, and i have used Thiel exclusively since 1985.   thanks for starting this thread way back. 

My pleasure - ronkent.I have only been in the Thiel game since 2012 (and what a sweet year it was indeed!). It is contributors like you, having been in the field since 1985 or longer, that ,makes this thread live and breathe. I think that we can all relate about having this musical love affair since our teens. Add to this fact all of the wonderful gear to make our speakers jump and shout.
Last, but certainly not in the least, we have been graced with the presence of Mr. Tom Thiel and Mr. Rob Gillum to ensure the Thiel bloodline stays stronger than ever.

Happy Listening!

tomthielThank You for the update. Hope you are well and having fun testing, building cross-overs, guitars and speakers. I have personally lifted and carried models CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7, 3.7 during the many auditions at various dealers/retailers. In my mind, it is hard to believe that any of those cabinets are deemed "noisy"? Keep progressing forward in our hobby.
Happy Listening!

Jay, the cabinets are very quiet, but some issues are present. The 3.7 sings a little where the side meets the cap, and so forth. I'm just saying that we can make incremental improvements beyond the original performance parameters. Such on-going improvements happen regularly in many high-end product lines. We intend to keep Thiel alive in that way.
