Thiel Owners

@tomthiel @tmsrdg A big thanks for the posts about John Siau’s analysis and the hands on experience with the AHB2 + CS3.7. You guys just saved me a whole bunch of hassle. I can just concentrate on the single stereo amp and it sounds like I have a good combo for the CS3.7.

I think I will keep my eyes open for whatever Purifi comes out with. They are supposedly looking to delivery a new much more powerful Class D amplification module. I have not heard the first gen Purifi amps yet but they seem very similar to the AHB2.

BTW -  @tmsdrg I also tried the StarQuad XLR's on my sources but found that the Audience Au24 SE XLR was preferred. I happily use StarQuad for preamp-2-amp.

There are several posts on the PS Audio forum stating how well the M700 monoblocks work with Thiel speakers, including the 3.7. If the M700s work well, then the more powerful M1200s should work even better. Both models are spec'd as solid down to 4 ohms and stable at 2 ohms, which still leaves a few questions about driving a 2.4 ohm speaker like the 3.7. However, one poster commented on how replacing a ML 533h amp with the M700s restored the powerful bass performance that had been present earlier when the 3.7 speakers were demo'd with mono Krell amps.

Just further food for thought.
