Anyone audition the new Thiel 3.7s yet?


Their website says they are shipping and I'm assuming they are in dealer showrooms by now. Just wondering what impressions people have of these mythical wonders? Do they live up to the hype?

Because of the black cap, I think they look best in very dark woods -- I especially like the new Ebony composite (shown in the Ayre suite at the past CES). However, in that price range, I much prefer the elegance of the Vandersteen Quatro Wood, which I believe to be one of the best looking speakers out there, YMMV.
they sound very good ,but needs a good powerful neutral sounding amp,,any amp tilted toward the upper mids and treble is ng makes them sound edgy and overly bright,,,but for 10 grand the fit of that aluminum dome on top of the speaker was the pits ,,looks cheap and feels a liitle uneven,,,
The ad says "Prepare to be amazed" and I was, but after listening, I wasn't.
I had a lengthy litening session with the 3.7s at RMAF. I loved them. A possible gotcha is the type of electronics with which they are driven, which is usually the case,of course. I first heard them being driven by Brytan electronics. They sounded good, but with some hints of top end glare or courseness. After that, the rep switched them over to a stack of Simaudio electronics, including the W7 stereo amp. They sounded really good! The top end was not what you'd call warm, but was not sterile. It was brilliantly clear with loads of subtle detail. I'm currently shopping for speakers and if I can afford just a bit more, I will give them very serious consideration.
