Anything happening at the new Thiel?

Well the only thing constant in the business world is change and new owners almost always want to bring their own culture and people into the organization. Jim's speaker designs will always be classics and live on - I have had my 3.6's for 12 years and will keep them.

I have considered the 3.7 many times but need the dynamics of my current speaker Andra II.

Doggiehowser I'll bet your setup sounds incredible! Would love to hear that combination. How do the subs integrate with the marvelous 3.7's?

I use the (now no longer in production) S1 Sub Integrator from Thiel.

It allows me to dial in the subs to work seamlessly with the 3.7s and just about every other speaker I have tried (not just Thiels).

The SS2/2,2s are just dead easy to set up. No mics needed. I just take out a tape measure (hardest part) to measure how close the subs are to the walls on the side and back of the sub. And on the S1 Integrator, I read off the specs from the manual of the power amp (gain) and speakers (sensitivity, ported/sealed, low frequency 3dB limit) and that's it.

When eval the CS 2.4, 2.7 or 3.7, to my ears-these speakers get percussion so right!

I would also like to add that I had some recent correspondence with Thiel and they were exemplary in their Customer Service. I wish them all the success going forward.

These are the richest-sounding speakers (for me) to date.
