Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements

Hi Jerry (Pops),

you have a great memory! You're right, I think that cabling can be used to adjust a system wrt brightness. I had moved up from the 750 to the Oracle V4's, where I began hearing more bass weight and pitch, and more depth, so I would be hesitant to go back in the MIT line.

My interest in the 2.4 was to hear the latest in Thiel technology with the coaxial tweeter/midrange, and to see how they are handling the detail/brightness dilemma. Do you still have your 3.6's, or have you moved up to CS6's?
take care, Bill

Hi Bill,

I still have the 3.6's, very happy but would love to move up to 6's. I would be curious about the same thing you mentioned - I keep thinking an upgrade to the 3.6 should be coming soon, that's really what I'm waiting on. Happy Holidays. Jerry

Jazzdude:

Yes, I do mean "fuzzy" in the sense that you are thinking of, and I suppose that you could also use the word "opaque." However, keep in mind that I say this only "by comparison to the 2.4's" - which are so phenomenally "UN-fuzzy" and "UN-opaque". I would not say that the 3.6's are a fuzzy speaker. In fact, I very much like their detailed midrange. It's just that the 2.4's take this focus and detail to a higher level. Now, that may or may not be a great thing, depending on the rest of your system and room. Personally, with my setup, I prefer the more full sound of the 3.6's, and I am quite happy with their level of detail and accuracy.

Hopefully, I am not confusing you more than I already have...

Tom.
