Someone bought my Thiel 3.7s.



Fortunately the buyer is arranging pick up from my house, where they will be put on a pallet by the shipping company.



That has still of course left me with packing them in to their boxes. Wow...not easy! It took a loooong time just to get the first one in to it’s box, with some trial and error along the way. After hours, the top totally fitted and taped up madly, it turned out the bottom of the speaker wouldn’t quite fit all the way in to the box. Rob Gillum was very helpful in advising me through this issue to the right solution (which of course, my fault, meant unboxing the damned thing and re-doing everything).

I lost count of the number of times I muttered under my breath "Never another big speaker...never another big speaker...."

(That is, until, some other big speaker catches my eye. But I’m pretty sure this has cured me of getting another big ol’ heavy speaker, as wonderful sounding as the 3.7s have been).

boy do i understand that Prof:  and what is funny is that compared to a lot of what is out there now, even 3.7's are not that big or heavy. 

Quite true, Ron.
In fact, ironically the much smaller Joseph Perspective speakers I'm contemplating are almost as heave as the 3.7s (just over 80 lbs, vs 91 lbs for the 3.7s).

Joseph is one of the very few brands at this point i would consider for new speakers, along with the upcoming PS Audio speakers.  But since i just got the 3.7's and they are finally broken in (they sound great), i best quit looking around.
