| Thiel Owners I agree Vandersteens are the ones that come to mind as the closest to Thiel sound and also build quality. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers Did hear the Vimberg, i could not stay more than 5 min in the room that says it all... | |
| Thiel Owners I agree Luxman M900u would be what i'd choose if i couldn't find a Gryphon to drive 3.7s. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Thanks for your response, a couple of thousand is not bad at all but it is no surprise for speakers that were in the top 20 best speakers of all time and very reasonably priced compared to the competition.Even by today's standard they ca... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone know how many pairs of CS 3.7s have been sold worldwide between 2007 and 2014 ? | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft A used Diablo 300 would be within your budget about $8K.The Diablo 300 has everything a 2.7 or 3.7 needs : high current, organic and full body sound.Otherwise Ayre is great but you won't have the bass of Gryphon amplification. | |
| Spectral audio today Guys Spectral's most recent SV series is in a complete different league compared to what they've done in the late 90s early 2000.They have made huge progress in the midrange frequency, it is now very organic and natural sounding not thin or analyt... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Congrats on your 3.7s purchase let's see how you like them.I might follow you soon as i'm contemplating a pair of 2.7s and a Gryphon Diablo 300 to drive them.I have to postpone my big reference rig project for the next few years b... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Not really worth upgrading, what you mostly get is the speakers are a little easier to drive therefore more amp choices other than that it's not night and day.If you really want to do it most ex Thiel dealers can do it for you | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Yes the crossovers were upgrated in 2012 just before the end.You can purchase them from Rob Gillum if you want to upgrade. | |
| Thiel Owners BHK300 will be ok with 3.7s but a good used Diablo 300 is still the best option IMO.Gryphon has now very good distribution in the US with Philip O'Hanlon. | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft There's no way your going to drive 7.2s properly with this Adcom, you need to find Krell FPB 400CX for 7.2s.You'd better look for 3.7s much easier do find, best amp for this model is by far Gryphon Diablo 300.I might buy a pair of Thiels fo... | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft Your looking to purchase 3.7s or 7.2s ?7.2s are really difficult to find and you better have very beefy amp to drive them like Krell FPB series of today's Gryphon. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys does anyone have owned 2.7s and 3.7s on this forum ?Any difference except bass ?@jafant congrats on your integrated amp purchase i hope you will be enjoying your rig now. | |
| Spectral audio today @shubertmaniac I don't think you can compare a Spectral system to the Alsyvox-Koda-Wadax system that you mentioned.This is an ultra high end rig for people with unlimited budget. |
