| Thiel Owners I had a previous spare set of CS3.6s that I bought with dents in both tweeters. I delicately pulled most of the dents out with clear Scotch tape, but with metal domes there will still be slight undulations. It doesn't just pop up in one motion, bu... | |

| Thiel Owners warjarrettI totally agree with the ARC-Thiel synergy. My Ref5SE-Ref150 with my 3.6s are absolutely intoxicating. I'm not sure I want to risk the cost of tube rolling since the ARC-chosen Sovtek KT120s and 6H30s sound so sublime. | |
| Thiel Owners I agree with jazzman7 about using a stepping stone approach. I first seriously started in this hobby about 7 years ago when I purchased my CS3.6s. At the time, I had an Exposure 2010 integrated amp. Obviously, it was very evident that I needed mor... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant,Have you heard from bighempin about his trip to Denver last month to pick up his 3.7s? (his last post here was 4/27). I know you were helping him locate a pair.Jon | |
| Thiel Owners rosamiYou speak as if you are helping resolve uncertainty with my dilemma. For the past couple of years, I have been considering purchasing 2.4s to compare to my 3.6s, and my concerns are the same as yours. I am totally seduced by the low end of ... | |
| Thiel Owners Utrak,Check out all the absorption I have to use to tame the bass on my CS3.6s....panels and tubetraps.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6163Jon | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielit seems that the 2.4 crossover upgrades are pretty well finalized now and that a lot was learned regarding upgraded components and the effects on how the speakers sound. Since I own 3.6s, I’m interested in learning how much of the info ga... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Bruce Cockburn - Breakfast in New OrleansGotta love Rob Wasserman's bass☺ jtcf, I know Rob played on Bruce's previous album, The Charity of Night, but I didn't think he played on Breakfast in New Orleans. Coming from another bassist, I always a... | |
| Thiel Owners rosami, I feel the exact same about my 3.6s. I have visited numerous dealers when I travel, and I have not heard a newer model that I had rather have in my home. | |

| Thiel Owners Sam, I had an ARC Ref 110 before my current Ref 150. Terrific match with the Thiels, even my hard to drive CS3.6s. I saw that you preferred the 8 ohm taps on the BAT VK55. I originally preferred the 4 ohm tap on my Ref 150, but I haven't switched ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Eagles, Long Road out of Eden - CDThe Title track is a must listen. Exceptionally produced on their CD. Agree nutty. One of my favorites. My wife loves "What Do I Do With My Heart" | |
| Thiel Owners rosami, I'll bet your serial numbers are close to my CS3.6s- 4789, 4790. Your setup on virtual systems looks terrific. I'm with you....trust your ears and not the claims! I, also visit dealers when I travel and have not found any speakers I prefer... | |
