Thiel Owners

Very nice! jabnothing wrong with owning a Thiel museum. Hope your CS 1.5 finds a good home. I have always thought that the 1.5 and 1.6 models are perfect for an apartment or small sound room.
Happy Listening!

Pau Ferro (Amberwood / Morado) is an excellent-sounding wood. My main business is supplying tonewood to guitarmakers. We introduced Morado to that world in the mid 90s and it is considered by many to be the sonically-preferred fingerboard stock, as well as highly regarded for acoustic guitar body wood. Like Maple, it has virtually no open pores and is a joy to finish. Be careful, about 15% of people exhibit a poison-ivy-like reaction to the dust. Wear gloves and a mask when working it.

tomthiel,

More interesting info.  Thank you.

I once had Thiel CS6s in my house, in Pau Ferro and they were beautiful.  Still one of the nicest speaker finishes I've seen.

Hi guys, 
I'm from Italy and newbie here, happy to join to this vaste Thiel's enthusiast community.
I just bought my first pair of Thiel loudspeakers , the wonderful cs3.6, found them  very well maintained after all these years. These artworks are currently driven by a McCormack TLC-1 pre amp and the amazing McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe (bought a week later than Thiels), what to say.....I feel absolute happiness, still to early to give an appropriate and deep review but for sure I'm getting the best sound since ever.
To me nowadays is very hard to find better sounding loudspeakers system even compared to the same original retail price, sad to know how the Thiel's story ended, Jim will remain in our hearts forever, for sure, simply a genius with our same  passion: music at its best!
Let me spend also some words of admiration to Steve McCormack having made and still doing such a pieces of electronics.
I'll never sell both Thiel and McCormack components, for sure.

Greetings from Italy,
Silvano

Welcome! silvanikI concur in that Thiel and McCormack are sonic matches. It seems that the CS 3.6 model is gaining momentum on the 3.5 owners. Glad you found us.I look forward in reading more about your system, musical tastes Silvano.Thank You / Grazie.
Happy Listening!
