Thiel Owners

@yabe1951. Nice amp and speakers you have.  I own both the 3.6 and CS6.  Thielist makes a good point about tradeoffs.  I am using the CS6 because I have a large room and the 6 is more dynamic than the 3.6.

However, the 3.6 is the most transparent speaker I have had in my room, you give up just a tiny bit with the larger model 6.  They are definitely cut from the same cloth - both are excellent.  The CS6 fits my needs in my room better.

I never warmed up to the 3.7 after much anticipation being a longtime 3.6 owner.   I thought Thiel got a little aggressive on the price 12K to 14K. I know it was innovative and an upgrade but the 3.6 has always been my favorite speaker.   Hope that helps your decision.

what are the power ratings on your McCormack DNA 0.5 amp?
Happy Listening!

Good to see you again.  Thank You for addressing yabe1951 's query.
Happy Listening!

I know audiophiles don’t admit physical aesthetics. But the 3.6 and 3.7 are as different as it gets in the Thiel line. Another thought is that the 3.6 drivers are completely Thiel design and build. OK the tweeter was assembled by Vifa, but it’s all-Thiel, unlike the 3.5 which were modifications of normal, pre-FEA era.

Hi Tom, I can't believe I had the restraint to not buy the 3.7.  I listened to it a lot at 2 different shops with difference electronics.  And to top it off it was my wife pushing me to do it!

The 3.6 was like an old girlfriend, just couldn't give her up!
