Thiel Owners

hi Rosami,   i had the same issue with a pair of 2.4's years ago.  i was surprised how much i could tighten them.  have heard,  though i have not tried it, that brass screws are the best material to use.  I am a big user of Mapleshade products and brass is one of their big things

Good to see you here again. Thank You for the update and implementation of REL subwoofer(s) matched to your CS 3.7 loudspeakers.  What other gear including cabling rounds out the system?

Happy Listening!

Thank You for posting your impressions/thoughts of the Cardas Clear Cygnus. I looked over the current offerings and thought about how the underlying silver cabling is going to sound (transparently) on Thiel loudspeakers?  I, too, enjoy cabling that brings out shimmer on cymbals.
Brushes on drum heads via Jazz recordings appeals to my aural experience as well. I want it so real that I could touch the skins myself.

Keep auditioning and reporting your findings here.
Happy Listening!

jafant,

I didn't think that the Cardas cables had underlying silver wire. Did you see that someplace?

rosami,

I don't have any experience with Naim cables, but you could be right about the Thiels needing different speaker cables to perform their best. I'm still using Straight Wire Encore cables from the 1990's because I know they're a good match for my 2.2's. Several weeks back, I spoke to Jerry Willsie at Straight Wire about my Encore cables, and he said they were still a great match for my Thiels. In fact, he said he had just recommended a version of the Encore to Kathy Gornik (one of the original Thiel founders) for her Thiels. 

In your situation, you may want to use the lending library at the Cable Company to try a few different speaker cables. Or you could try a cable maker that has a 30 or 60-day free return policy. Tom Thiel has recommended Morrow cables. Ronkent has recommended Cardas Clear Reflection with his system. Unfortunately, speaker cables can't be selected based on the performance of interconnects of the same brand since cables typically require a different design to function well with speakers.

Good luck in your search!
