Thiel Owners

The x.7 drivers are indeed breakthrough design. That said, the 2.4 drivers are very mature and made and tested in Lexington with significant, advanced technologies. The 2.7 cabinet is stiffer, but the 2.4 will come close in vibrational performance, especially after tweaking. Regarding passive component quality, the upgrades will leap-frog the stock x.7 series into pretty rarified territory. We can expect some veils to be lifted by applying technologies that were out of reach for the stock product line.

FYI: I have contacted the world leader in audio cryogenic immersion. I am previously familiar with what can go right and wrong in that process, and how to stay out of trouble. I will be comparing stock and cryo-treated crossovers to evaluate efficacy. 

tomthielThank You for the update on drivers and cross-over(s). Have fun and stay safe out there.Happy Listening!

Thanks Jafant I’m using a bryston 4nrb with a proceed avp with mit cables before the avp I had a rotel pre amp then I went to a forte f44 with each progression the sound got better the dream someday is to go to a pair of cs5is with an avp2. I usually listen to rock. Thanks  to everyone on here for all the good info.

My pleasure - fitter468
Bryston is an excellent sonic match for Thiel speakers. I want to demo the new "cubed" series of power amps for comparison to the older ST and SST models.  I have read about M.I.T. cabling acting as a sonic match as well.

Proceed and older Mark Levinson gear seems to be a fan favorite w/ Thiel speakers too. I do believe that repairs/service is still provided for these Vintage products.  Thanks! for sharing your Audio journey.Happy Listening!

Jafant keep me posted after you audition the cubed amps ive heard good things about them. I would love to know what you think of them vs the st series. I’ve always wanted to listen to ayre,pass and krell as well to see how they match up with Thiel.
