Thiel Owners

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.

Right On! tomthielI think that it is safe to say, this Panel,  is behind you all of the way.
Looking forward in reading about your next research update. Hope that all of your knowledge and resources are working out well.Happy Listening!

Improvements are always good.
But for me I have to say the last thing on my list I'd write down as "needing improvement" is the cabinet behavior of the 3.7s.
I say that because I find the 3.7s to already beat just about any other speaker I've heard in terms of sounding utterly boxless.  It's one of the main things I notice every time I came home from auditioning even the latest, greatest speakers.  The 3.7s disappeared as detectable sound soruces (at least in my room) more effortlessly than any of them.
