Thiel Owners

SDL4:  not trying to get you to spend money,  but the transition from 2.2's to 2.4's was fantastic. one of the biggest jumps i have ever made in audio.  I owned the 2.2's from 1991-2007 so they were my longest owned speaker and they were great.   But the 2.4 really changed the game. 

The 3.7s for sure were not as bad a load as the 7.2s.  I owned 2.3s before the 7.2s and now have 3.7s.  I also have SCS2s (using them for side and rear surround but had them as mains in the bedroom system of my old house).  When my friend worked at a local hifi shop many moons ago, I helped deliver most of their modes from the late 1990s for about 6 years. I currently drive my 3.7s with Class D (Modwright KWA 150SE before that and Bryston 14BSST before that and a smaller Bryston SST before that).  The 7.2s were in a large 2 story room and would shut down on a regular basis from the load presented to the Bryston 14BSST (they made a 20 amp version but I didn't have a 20 amp circuit).

ronkent:  I have owned my 2.2's (#991+#992) from 1992 to the present, and I haven't been seriously looking to replace them. I have had an interest in the 2.4, 2.7, and especially the 3.7, but the investment needed to make the change hasn't made sense to me given how much I like my 2.2's. Also, the 2.2's are not so big that they dominate my living room, and the natural cherry of the speakers is a perfect match for the wall of built-in cherry cabinets in the room. 

My home theater in a different room includes five Powerpoint 1.2's and a SS1 sub in a 5.1 configuration, so I have a very positive appreciation for the excellence of Thiel's coaxial tweeter/mid designs. I can see how having a combined tweeter/mid in a floor-stander like the 3.7 would eliminate some of the issues that can arise in the 2.2 if the vertical listening position isn't just right.
