Thiel Owners

^For those that seem to appreciate the difference between coherent and non-coherent speakers, I think it’s a combination of conscious and unconscious appreciation. This might be especially true for the superior transient response, which is consciously self evident, but perhaps unconsciously appreciated as offering perceived superior imaging as well.

Thank You for a little Thiel history on the 01/02/03 models.

Happy Listening!

Happy Friday! All

I just listened to my Thiels naked.  I mean I removed the cloth grilles. I kept my clothes on of course since that could affect the sound reflections. I don’t know why I have never tried that before.  They look cool without the grilles on.  It took the clarity up a notch.  The imaging is so tight and focused now I have been getting autographs from the singers.  

I recently spoke with Rob G. about the same issue re my 3.7s. He said that the grill cloth is an integral part of the speaker design in all models except the 3.7, where it is entirely cosmetic.
