Keep those wonderful memories and backstories a comin'.


Happy Listening!

I've been struggling along trying to absorb as much as I can from the great discussion thus far, and the campfire is indeed blazing!
 I'm remembering my first Thiel, which was an 03A. I bought them along with a PS Audio Elite, both of which I kept for many years and lots of moves. 
Having sold all my HT and 2 channel stuff, I'm starting over in a new smaller place. However, I seem to have a good sized listening room, but with a towering cathedral ceiling. I've been counseled in this forum to abandon thoughts of a 1.5 or 1.6, so was about to settle on a pair of 3.5's with the equalizer. But wait-there suddenly appears on the horizon a pair of CS 7's. For a very good price. And he'll even ship them! Please tell me they are too big. The only Thiels I have not owned are the 7 series and the 1 series. The price is less than a 2.4 and close to the last pair of 2.3's I saw listed. ...

Oh man, I was just reading an old review of the Thiel 3.7s, naturally a rave, and had this tinge of regret creeping over me.  I had those speakers!  They were incredible!

But then I remember why I had to sell them.  Yes, I HAD to sell them! (Must keep telling myself that...)

I was able to audition both the 3.7s and the 2.7s, with my own classical  CDs, in the same location on the same day.   Loved both; with the only difference being  the falloff in the bottom octave. However,  size  decided in favor of the 2.7s. Later added an SS2.2 sub, and am still very, very happy.
