Thiel Owners

All

Today marks this thread's 4th Anniversary here on Audiogon. Since inception, we are acquiring and attracting new contributors and members of the Panel. I continue to become impressed with each passing year as Thiel Audio is finding its audience via the secondary market. Support continues to fortify and strengthen from several avenues including other Audio -based forums. The word is out indeed. 
Thank You-  for everyone's Dedication and Passion towards the betterment of our Hobby.

Happy Listening!

jafant,

Thanks to you for continuing to nurture this thread and to help maintain the positive, supportive attitude that makes this the best thread on Audiogon! 

@jafant,  Wow, 4 years! Did you ever get amplification for those Thiel’s?

Hello all - I join in thanking JAFant for running this forum. I doubt that I would have taken up the challenge of trying to stabilize the future for Thiel owners without this forum. It's been a wonderful undertaking and I make some progress nearly every day.

Rosami - your detailed comparison of the 2.4 vs 3.6 reads like the design brief for the two products.

The Renaissance Project work has illuminated ways to make qualitative improvements for all Thiel models. I especially thank members of this forum for raising questions and perspectives that I, nor probably Jim, had considered. Remember the Vandersteen baffleless question? I responded with the company line of "one baffle, like one instrument". Then I scratched my head and went to work finding holes in my incomplete thinking. All in, I am addressing forms of distortion that contribute to that "upper frequency harsh glare" which I attribute to the speaker in some degree. Most of you have ameliorated it with careful and expensive system engineering. Thiel audio also used that particular equipment and sources that made it sound good. I believe we'll find ways to allow Thiel speakers to shine with most equipment and sources rather than a small subset as is presently necessary. 

I also thank those of you who are running parallel experiments and sharing outcomes with me. Even though progress is slow, progress is being made.
