Thiel Owners

JA - I figured out the WAMM part, but jumped to the WATT because I had a little experience with it, but not the WAMM. Have you ever heard a setup?

No- no auditioning experience with either WAMM/WATT. Although short in length, the Video gave a small Audio sample of an incredible venture via Dave Wilson (RIP).  I wish those guys from JS Audio (Baltimore) would have played more musical selections. 

And what an incredible mix of Cabling and Gear (something old, something new)!

I can only imagine the room/space to house such a behemoth System!

Happy Listening!

The closest I have ever traveled to such a Loudspeaker system was the gentleman, whom I purchased, my CS 2.4SE speakers. I his studio, he owned an original Infinity IRS Beta V set-up. Impeccable, all-original,  from 1985. No modifications at all.  You would have been impressed by his room and system.

I did not want to leave,

Happy Listening!

2nd Note on Wilson Audio;

In the Fall of 2012, I found myself in Raleigh NC for work. As luck  would have it, I found a Thiel Audio and Wilson Audio dealer/retailer across the street from each other.  I had my 1st CS 2.4 demo earlier that Spring and was curious about Wilson Audio for comparison. 

Continued (work interruption)

In house at Audio Advice, I auditioned the Sasha and Sophia loudspeakers. 

Still, not as rich in presentation and sound to a CS 2.4 model. Across the street is Audio Excellence. Here I would run the table with CS 2.4, 2.4SE (the clear winner), CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 models. I would visit these guys again in 2014 and the owner would not sell the CS 2.4SE. All other models were for sale.

Over the last 3 years, I have heard Wilson Audio Alexx, Sasha DAW and Sabrina for reference. These particular speakers are far better than original Sasha and Sophia by a wide margin. The Alexx does have the richness of my CS 2.4SE for $100K. Then , there is the cabling , gear, and room  to match.  

Happy Listening!
