Your descriptors of the presentation and sound from your system are perfect. It appears that your Audio journey had been fun and rewarding over the decades. This is what our hobby is all about.  The gear is the driver.The music is the passenger. One does not exist without the other.

Happy Listening!

Yes, it is a great ride, with the music making an ever greater impact as the gear reveals more. Words can only approximate what the music offers, just as they fall short of describing the smell of freshly cut grass or the feel of a loved one's touch.

I will definitely let you know if I can hear them through an appropriate amp. I've just recently started reaching out to the community, but have been reading the posts for close to a year now. I've never been to any events and none of my friends have the bug, so it may be a while. 


I'm thrilled that you are continuing to pursue and offer your special talents, both in gear and instruments, to the rest of us. Keep the faith!  

Tom, if Thiel speakers keep phase changes to a minimum, would according to the same reasoning keeping the phase changes to zero as in linear phase be better then minimum phase? Creating linear phase is possible with active digital sound processing creating other problems such as ringing but would it not be another step closer to the ideal? My experimentation with the 3.5 seems promising and certainly increased my respect for the quality these speakers already have.

Rules - zero phase rings before and after a transient event. Minimum phase does NOT ring. It's worth some study
