Thiel Owners

Re: "hi Tom,   thanks for the clarification on phase, absolute phase, and all those other phase things."To clarify, you did not err in your vocabulary. The term "phase" is applied widely to both matter of phase and matters of polarity. I was trying to clarify that there are various related happenings, which would be better served by using two different terms: Polarity to refer to the direction of the signal and Phase to refer to the inner relationships of various elements of the signal. The term Absolute Phase is often substituted for Polarity, which would be the more precise term.

Just for full transparency, I am somewhat limited in experience and gear listened to but ronkent is correct that I definitely enjoyed the sound of the BHK amp paired with ronkents 3.7s. I thought it was amazing. Definitely worth the trip to Boulder to check them out if you can make the trip.

I found some very interesting mint Thiel speakers today that are available for sale. I am waiting for pictures and in the process of setting up a demo, negotiating for them, and working out some logistical issues. Fingers crossed I might be a Thiel owner soon enough.

fingers are so crossed.   which model are you looking at.

I actually found a guy who has some 2.7s and 3.7s available. I am interested in both, I’m just waiting on pricing and pictures. The 3.7s have a serial number in the 600’s. I have read, in this thread perhaps, that the early original production run of the 3.7s had a metal dome that was tweaked in later runs for a composite(i think) dome. I am assuming a serial number in the 600s would be a second or later production run, can anyone confirm this? And does anyone know if there are any pros and or cons, or problems, with either version of the dome? Thanks!

FWIIW:   mine are 129 and 130 so very early.   I would call Rob Gillum and get his info on this.  when you say dome are you meaning the tweeter or the actual cap on the top of the speaker
