Thiel Owners

My spare drivers for my 2.7s just arrived (coax, woofer, passive).
Rob was great with communication and shipping.  Highly recommended!

Now I can breath easier when I crank my speakers, which I'm doing all the more these days as I'm re-buying old Kiss, Rush and Van Halen albums to blast through the house!  

One of the things I like so much about a floor standing speaker vs standmounted is the sense of scale and effortless quality when you turn up the sound.   The Thiels especially have a very satisfying solidity and punch from top to the bottom of the bass, whereas other speakers (especially stand mounted speakers engineered with a hump to sound bigger than they are) tend to get a bit softer and "woofier" down bottom.
For Van Halen, Alex's drums and Michael Anthony's bass guitar has a thunderous solidity that really rock the place.

Agreed! profPlay it LOUD!

Prof, how much for the drivers?  I've been thinking about that myself as I'd like to keep my 3.7s pretty much forever and I imagine Coherent Source Services won't be around more than 10 years, if that long.  My 2 2s are probably 25 years old and get used every day so I imagine the 3.7s probably have another 20 years of life left, maybe more.  

I agree about bigger speakers.  There is no substitute for big drivers in a big box.  

would like some suggestions for a well recorded Rush cd. all i have heard and been bright and one dimensional.   this is a great album and i am not a Mac fan by any means but the music is exciting and the recording quality is great.   https://www.amazon.com/Tango-Night-Remastered-Fleetwood-Mac/dp/B01N9R3TIM/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=...

jon,

It was around $975 for the 3 drivers.  I seem to remember when I inquired a while back that a single set of 3.7 drivers was a bit more expensive.

ron,

I wish I could be of more help.  The remasters I've been listening to of Rush are the recently released vinyl remasters (some done at Abbey Road) and they are stupendous.  Never, ever heard Rush sound like this.

The various CD remasters were done earlier - some in the 90s, others I think around 2009.  I've seem some complaints about the hit or miss quality, some brightness etc.  The 2112 remaster CD seems to get good notices though, and I thought it sounded good on my system.  (But none of them kick it like the vinyl remasters).
