Thiel Owners

Rob G and I spent a month+ last October/November emailing and me calling to sort out the truly messed up CS3.7 that I had bought used. He helped with speaker design diagrams and hand held me on repairs and diagnostics remotely. Along with advice on the tools to buy.

If he was not available and willing to help I would have been stuck with an an expensive damaged speaker with no way to fix. The CS3.7 shipping boxes I had were like paper and no way I wanted to use them to ship them to Rob from California home.

He is difficult to get a hold off but I was doing all of this during the thanksgiving holiday time period.

Are you consulting CSS for parts or a speaker re-build?

Happy Listening!

Happy Friday! All

Hello all - newbie here...just discovered this site last week or so and this thread several hours ago! Such passion for Thiels! Real quick cuz it’s 4am and I’m zonking-out I’m the original owner of a pair of black ash 3.6s complimented by a couple of .5s and a definitive sw and PSB center I’ve had since the late 90’s. Perfect condition and I’m looking to sell it or trade for 800 series b&ws. I know there is a place for this somewhere on the site and I plan to do this the right way (!) but I just wanted to send this out to the universe as a sort of place mark. I’m in the Bay Area and would be interested just to find out what it is I have, what the current value is. (I have no idea what I paid initially but none of it was cheap!) It’s used as mostly a home theater setup along with my 1000 watt definitive sw and 200x5 WPc Aragon amp and stageone pre pro which are the main reason for my upgrade dreams. They are great, but not even an hdmi connect! I’ll learn the forum rules and undoubtedly already broke several but as I said, this is just a stab at a bookmark before I forget or can’t navigate my way back! Apologies ahead of time gotta hit the hay! Feel free to contact any way. Yours jjw 

As someone who went from the B&W 800 series to Thiel about 10 years ago I will be the first one to tell you that you're making a bad decision.  I found the Thiels to be better in every area I cared about.  The B&Ws will play louder and have more (lower quality) bass.  The Thiels have more defined bass, clearer, more intelligible midrange, less peaky tweeter, better imaging, more realistic soundstage, better transients, and a difficult to describe relaxing quality that may be due to their better phase behavior.
