Thiel Owners
@tomthiel, I was really trying to specifically point out Post #27 where the poster found a way to resuscitate a midrange driver that might have otherwise been discarded. There may be hope for those that might have otherwise given up in the meantime while your project comes to fruition. The last paragraph of your last post succinctly describes what made those early CS 3 series so great (and the above 4 Ohm load!). That you are trying to make them even better is truly exciting! |
@tomthiel thank you for your cable update. I would be interested in a workable configuration.. Got half the things I need for my speakers.. so good to get started soon... |
Hello, all! I know it’s been a while since I last posted/contributed, but I have certainly kept up by lurking in the shadows. It is with some regret that I will no longer be a Thiel owner as of tomorrow. Earlier this afternoon, after a couple of months of toying around with the idea of replacing my Thiel 3.5’s, I was presented with an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up and bought a new pair of Kef Blade 2’s. I find it fitting that I’m moving on from a speaker that was among the references of its day, to one that has been universally acclaimed as a reference performer, with state-of-the-art design and engineering of today. I want to say Thank You to jafant, Tom Thiel, unsound…all of you. I learned so much and truly enjoyed all the interaction. This thread remains such a shining example of what a forum should be about…and it’s all because of the posters here. I will continue to lurk, continue to stay notified of new posts, etc. I may no longer own Thiels (for now), but I still want to be associated with fine, fellow audiophiles like all of you. Thanks again and stay well…Enjoy the music! Arvin |
