Thank you, Prof. Big speakers can work in small rooms.

Prof, I was watching those 2.7s, but I did not bid. I have been very curious whether either the 2.7s or 3.7s would be worth the expense to replace my reliable 3.6s. I will be interested to hear your thoughts on comparing the 2.7s with the 3.7s.

Thiel CS3.6, # 4789 and 4790.

miyu...I agree with oblgny. The AR/Thiel setup is NOT a mismatch. I think there is a misconception that lower powered tube amps can't drive the Thiels. I have driven my 3.6s with the AR VSi60 and the Ref75 with excellent results. I am now very sat...

If you email Thiel through their website with your serial numbers, they will tell you the day they were produced. My 3.6s were completed on 5/22/1996. It's a testament to their quality that they are in such good physical and mechanical condition a...

oblgny,Your first impressions of the 3.6s sound just like my first and last impression. I'm a bass player (1977 Fender Jazz Bass) and I have never heard a speaker or speaker/sub combo that gave me such a "real" and uncolored bass sound while maint...

Thanks for your input prof. I'm not sure why I thought you had the CS3.6s. I'm curious why you preferred the CS6 over the 3.6s...do you think it was the coaxial design? I have always wondered what the CS7.2 would sound like with my setup. Jafant, ...

Any Audio Enthusiasts in Alabama?
I just wandered into this thread starting with your Thiel Owners thread. I'm in Vestavia Hills (Birmingham suburb) and I'm enjoying my Thiels like you. Are you nearby?

dlcockrum.....I don't mean to propagate sidetracking the Thiel thread either, but I could use your experience with Synergistic cables since I do believe they are good match for Thiel speakers. If I need to move this to private messaging, please le...

oblgny.....I totally agree with you about being nervous about any changes, because I have become very protective in preserving what I have and uneasy about potentially loosing it....like with normal wear from aging. As I test more speakers, I have...

Guys, I hate to switch gears but I bought some Thiel CS3.6s on Audiogon about 5 years and recently asked the manufacturer when mine were made based on their serial numbers. They say 1996....20 years old. They sound terrific, but is there something... 
Speakers with warm treble and good bass
You seem to have my exact tastes for non-fatiguing, non-analytical sound with deep, warm bass. I purchased a preowned pair of Thiel CS3.6 on Audiogon for $1200 about 6 years ago and no other speaker I have tried comes close for my taste. I recentl... 
Audio cabinet or rack for Audio Research Ref 150
Excellent idea oregonpapa. The folding floor screen is the answer.
