Thiel Owners

I've been listening to speakers recently to compare to my 21 year old CS3.6s -- it's a journey that I'll continue for awhile. Visiting a number of dealers, I've been amazed at all the Thiel bashing by some of these dealers - crazy claims - outright lies - claims that technology has come so far and that my speakers are obsolete - even personal criticism that I consider imaging and focus important. It's easy to see why high-end audio gets such a bad rap! Trust your ears and if you find a good dealer, support him!

Thank You for chiming in. Agreed, trust your ears. As some of you guys are discovering, newer loudspeakers,  are not always better.
Happy Listening!

Rosami - I would be interested in their claims. Are they talking active and DSP?

rosami, I'll bet your serial numbers are close to my CS3.6s- 4789, 4790. Your setup on virtual systems looks terrific. I'm with you....trust your ears and not the claims! I, also visit dealers when I travel and have not found any speakers I prefer. I'm also curious at what dealers you talked to are claiming. Jon

Hey guys. Have had my CS 2.4’s for many years now and have always felt they needed a bit more midbass. Well, I sent my BAT VK-3ix Preamp out for the Six-Pak modification from the factory. 

Just hooked it up, and WOW it’s like a new set of speakers. Midrange is “here” and midbass is clean and correct. Lower bass is more pronounced.  Dynamics are way better too. In fact this is the best thing I’ve done to get these speakers sounding the way I wanted. I almost don’t need the REL subwoofer!
