Thiel Owners

Thanks Jafant, there's a pair of birdseye maple 1.5's here in Portland that look to be in really nice shape for 575.00 going to check them out at noon.  

I've been free of the audio addiction for a couple of years (living on a house boat does not make the turn table happy!) but just got a new place that has rooms to support it.  My past speakers were Dunlavy SCIVA's (all time favorite) that evolved into the Vandersteen range (2ce sig, 3A sig, quattro) after a move to a place that didn't have the needed room size. I never really got on with the vandersteens and missed the dynamics of the dunlavy's.   I'm hoping to find the accuracy that time aligned and phase coherent drivers bring and get some dynamics and impact back. 

Looking for 2.4, 2.7's as well for a bigger room... 

So I picked up the 1.5's today...near perfect shape (8 to 9 by agon rating) and quickly set them up with a NAD D3020 and anticables (main systems are boxed up for a move) and streaming pandora through a Galaxy S7... even with this far less than ideal set up they image really well and seam very accurate, not at all bright or harsh. 

their normal diet will be fed by a Linn LP12 through an Ayre  P-5XE phono and a Coda CsiB (400 into 8ohm, 800 into 4) 

After 20 minutes I like these enough to know they're worth hunting down a pair of Sound Anchor stands (or Target?) for.... need to get the tweeter height up a bit.

does anyone have any leads on good stands for these? 

Thanks,

I finally located a pair of 3.6's in what appear to be acceptably good condition considering their age for $1450,  all including crating and shipment from Chicago.  Quite difficult to find in or around New York. 

My 3.5's are up here on the site, local pickup only.  

I'll be sticking with all Transparent cabling as I've been for the last few months. They're swell. 

Should arrive late next week. 

Woohoo!

Are you sure you want to sell that quickly? Have you listened extensively to the 3.6?
It's just that some like the 3.5 over the 3.6...
Wow - lot of changes this year in your system. Kudos to you for being so decisive! 

Good to see you again- zkga

Nice score!  Yes, seek out the Sound Anchor or original Thiel outriggers for your speakers.  The imaging is incredible w/ the newer CS series (1.5, 1.6, 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7).

Happy Listening!
