Thiel Owners

Thank You for the caps tech talk. Keep it coming Sir!
Thinking about Marty Balin today (R.I.P.) and his vocals on the song "Miracles" from Red Octopus album. This is a demo track in any format as he delivers one hell of a crescendo performance, sure to test any speaker's midrange capability.

Happy Listening!

Hope that you are well and enjoying the Fall season. Good to read that you are affirming Ayre as a capable amp for our Thiel speakers. An integrated amp, no less.  Keep researching and posting the findings on your XO project.  Happy Listening!

Thank You for the ModWright  perspective. There have been several questions, requests on mating this brand with our beloved Thiel speakers.  Good to read that the two brands are a sonic match. 

Happy Listening!

Good to see you and it appears that we have another hands-on, DIY, contributor. Looking forward in reading more about your capacitor replacement project. Perhaps you can join forces with Beetle, Rob and Tom.   You guys are awesome!    Happy Listening!

tomthiel - great suggestions about other caps to replace waiting for your full new 3.6 XO project, I'll give a try to this step of upgrade and will report here as soon as I'm able to build my clear and reliable idea about this modification.
Concerning the list of amps  suitable for the well known Thiel's "bastard" low load I can state that my McCormack DNA-2 is really a nice match, it's capable of 900 W RMS for channel into 2 ohms. Things I like most is the effortless velvet punch and the warm and clear mids/highs it can deliver, I'm very satisfied with it.
