Thiel Owners

Fan - Very helpful in deconstructing some performance differences between the round and slot reflex system. When we're finished with the 1.6, I believe we'll have something quite worth auditioning.

It's anecdotal but FWIW:  I've run the Thiel CS6, 2.7 and 3.7 on my CJ 140W tube amps, playing soft and loud (I crank them especially when I'm listening from another room in the house, make it sound like a live band).My amps have yet to be eaten by a Thiel speaker :-) 

rosami, I feel the exact same about my 3.6s. I have visited numerous dealers when I travel, and I have not heard a newer model that I had rather have in my home.

Yes - it’s kind of amazing given the age of these speakers. My only “want” with the 3.6s would be a tighter bottom end. I’ve had the 3.7s in my room and they had way better base-to-mid-base definition and control, however the vocal range sounded somewhat thin and lacked body. I’d guess the electronics/speaker combination was a big reason for what I heard with the 3.7s but I’m not willing to start changing my electronics. That was the main reason I stuck with my 3.6s rather than getting the 3.7s. I still think the 3.6s are terrific speakers and may do a little experimenting with speaker cables going forward. 

pair of 3.5s with the EQ in Chicago suburb $550.
