Thiel Owners

Prof - Paul Hales is very talented and precisely educated. He got his degree in mechanical and electrical engineering for the purpose of designing loudspeakers.

Rossw - To me, the 3 / 3.5 seems the quintessential Jim Thiel design, before he had to cave to ported bass for practical reasons. We were breaking new ground in those early days, and I am pleased the early products stand up today. The 3.5 is near the top of my list.

Welcome! Good to see you here. There are several 3.5 fans and owners on the Panel. Take your time reading through this thread, as there is a plethora, of information. I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes and system.
Happy Listening!

It's funny to see people discussing concrete baffles.  I'm back to my Madisound kit for the first time in a year and trying to make concrete baffles for them.  I've tried several kinds and thus far they haven't worked.  I have no experience with concrete so I'm trying to get a feel for it.  My currently drying attempt is with concrete countertop mix.  This stuff really should work.  It costs $25 for a 50lb bag and I mixed a bunch of glass fiber in to help with cracking.  

jafant,

Checking out.

Hit my 97th last month, and I'm happy, very happy, with my Thiel 2.7s,Thiel sub and Bryston  electronics.  No reason to contemplate modifications,, upgrades, etc. 

Learned a lot from tomthiel and prof. 

Cheers,
