Thiel Owners

Tom, Happy Birthday to you!

We are all proud here to have such a master with whom to share our opinions and listening to valuable advice.

I'll never forget that day, long time ago, when I had the opportunity here in Italy to listen to a pair of 3.6 in a very good setup, since then that sound remained engraved in my mind and heart but I could only dream about Thiels. More of twenty years later I put my hands over these jewels to never let them go, a pure joy every time I switch on the system.
I know that all this is also your merit, so, thank You Tom!

Just to add a amp to the list that in my opinion has a very good synergy with Thiels, the McCormack DNA-2, with its ease and authority to drive loads around two ohm and even less,not to mention also the marvelous reproduction of the upper middle part of the spectrum.

Thank you all.
On to business. JA - the answer to your 'how many 2.7s' question lies with New Thiel, which no longer exists. I speculate based on conversations with first New Thiel operations manager Bob Brown and its best CEO Tom Malatesta that the number is probably in the hundreds of pairs. Very few indeed. Someday I am likely to find out and will share. If each of you can note the serial numbers of any pair you can. I'll put it on my list. Thiel serial numbers always began with #1.

Who here bought that pair of 3.7s directly from Rob? That's probably the high water mark for 3.7s. Number please.

Thielrules is the owner of that last pair of 3.7s.

I checked and it has no serial no.

My 3.7s are 41 and 42 I think.  The SNs look to have been put on with a sharpie and are almost completely worn off.  I'm guessing they were the original demo models from audio consultants here in Chicago.  I assume they were part of the first production run.
