Thiel Owners

^Though I’m confident that most already know not to over generalize a brands different product models comparabilities, it might be even more so the case with B&K’s and Thiel’s. Most B&K’s aren’t particularly suitable with most Thiel’s. But, there are some notable exceptions that work particularly well on their own merits, and just so happen to offer very good value while doing so.

^erratum: the second sentence, fourth word should read: compatibilities.

I wonder if the CS 1.7s have been popular ?Never heard them yet but all i know is that they are pretty easy to drive and perfect for smaller rooms.How do you guys like them ?I've owned the 1.5s for many years and passed them to my bro last year, he now enjoys them in Italy.

^I wouldn’t consider anything that drops below 4 Ohms as easy to drive. They’re not especially sensitive either.

So far as synergy with Thiel goes, from real-world, ownership perspective, I’ll offer up Pass Labs, Belles, and Modwright as my personal faves. All of them were mated to various tubed preamps at various times which is how I prefer things to be. The Belles is remarkably similar in every respect to Pass and so much more economical it ain’t even funny. On the pre-owned market Belles are true audio bargains. Just my 2¢...
