Thiel Owners

Thanks again guys, learning a lot here. The last pair of Thiel I listened to was indeed the 3.6 in a dealer show room twenty some years ago. It sounded very good but now I can't remember what amp was used. At that era, I think it must had to be some high power amp like Audio Research, Krell, Mark Levinson, Conrad Johnson or maybe Aragon, Bryston, Spectral etc. Since then, I've not been following hi fi development. It seems like now we have a lot more new manufactures and a more focus on multi-channels and digital products. What would be a good pre/power amp (2-3k budget, used equipment ok) to match the 3.6 in a two channel set up mainly for LP and some cd listening of classical, jazz and vocal.

Thiel loudspeakers are pretty forgiving w/ cabling. Use caution with silver-based/impregnated cabling though. Experiment and have fun!

Happy Listening!

Welcome! Good to see your posts. Take your time and read through this thread for more information on the 3.6 speaker. I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes and system.

Happy Listening!

I have heard Arcam gear with Analysis Plus (not sure about the models) and Nordost Blue Heaven cabling only. I really like their FMJ cd players.

Happy Listening!

@jafant i have a line on a pair of fpb-350mc monos within an hour of me. Hopefully I can work something out with the guy. Also my luxman just made it into the states and went through (luckily) a fast approval process in us customs. I’m excited to see this thing on my rack.
