Thiel Owners

Thiel placed focused attention on product longevity. The caps are high-temperature / long life, and resistors and coil are (practically) immortal. Driver tinsel leads might eventually fatigue and fail, but in the absence of extreme use or upstream problems, they rarely fail. I have 01s from 1980 still intact.

For peace of mind you might pull the woofers and look around.

@prof Yes i agree directly on the carpet without the carpet spikes is much better but i still prefer the original Thiel spikes vs the Gaia 2s overall, bass is much better in my case without the Gaia 2s.

A friend of mine told me to try the Gaia 2 on granite before making a final decision.

I will give this a try and if no positive results i will send them back.

Excellent to read that you found a pair of 01 speakers. I still have my Sources on the look out for 02 a/b speakers as well. You and I have a passion for finding older Gear and Speakers.

Happy Listening!
