Thiel Owners

Jafant,

now that my system can breathe and function at its full potential, I can justify experimenting with tweaks. In my old house it just didn’t make sense. Perhaps you could make some suggestions to steer me in the right direction, as I am a novice audiophile. As much as I love my Belles hot rod, I have been thinking an upgrade in my amp would make the most sense. If I do upgrade, a power cord would be a must. Thanks,  happy listening. 

Thiel 3.6 is 86 db 2.5 ohm minimum. Thiel 7.2 is 86 db 3 ohm minimum. That’s from this little dealer book one shop would’ve gotten from thiel

@bellesfan, If I may be so bold to recommend (and I offer this without knowing all room dimensions) that you try moving you speakers 3’ in so that the centers are 10’ apart, and moving the speakers further out from the wall behind the speakers so that the speakers are 10’ from your listening position. This could remove more of the sound from the room, providing a greater degree of direct listening, while maintaining ideal driver integration.

I would venture to say that if you enjoy the Belles house-sound, then, move up the amp chain. On the other hand, if you enjoy the Primaluna house -sound, then, add one of its amp to your system.Best practice is to visit local dealers/retailers to demo competition products.I practiced this very advice 10 years prior to assembling my Reference system. It is an incredible Audio journey. Fun too!

Happy Listening!
