Thiel Owners

Welcome! Good to see you here. Consult Mr. Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service (CSS) in Lexington KY. Keep us posted on your progress. I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes and system.

Happy Listening!

Unsound - I believe that the wavy driver completely eliminates lobing at its cross point, leaving only the lower cross point to lobe. And the 3.7 lower point is so low that beaming is quite minimal, so the on and off axis response is effectively very similar, leaving only on axis ear height as a constraint, which is easily solvable - sit on a couch or easy chair. The flat wavy disc practically solves the hollow tweeter launch environment. Can you tell that I’m a fan? 
My main reason for addressing the older models is due to their geriatric needs, the large quantities, and the greater room for improvement.

Saw Simon over at Audio Consultants yesterday where they are in process of cleaning up what little they have left. In case anyone is interested, among the leftovers was a pair of Thiel SCS3 speakers.

@tomthiel, I guess you like the flat drivers. :-).
The other reason I’d be some what less interested in an updated 3.6 is the amplifier straining impedance load, without the redeeming lobing fix.

Unsound - again I agree. I suppose “maddening” is the word I would attach to Jim’s insistence on such low impedances.
