Thiel Owners

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.

I always believed that too.  I haven’t discerned any downside so far but I’ll listen to them this way for a while and then put the cloths back on.
