Thiel Owners

No problemo. My offer stands until you decide if you'll pick them up or not.  If you don't I'll just part them out somehow.  Have a great Labor Day weekend, all!

I am perplexed that a small REL T7 subwoofer with a low frequency extension to 30Hz +/- 6db would be enough "to make me keeop the 3.6" which has a low frequency extension to 27Hz +/- 3dB. Where do you crossover? Do you think that by removing those few low Hz from the Thiels cleans up the bass response? Or do you think that your ampification just didn't have the juice to drive those lower Hz? Being a bass guitar player, I love the weight of the bass with my 3.6s and the Audio Research Ref150, but I'm always looking to clean up the timbre/transients of the individual notes. Thanks, Jon

I think it's a little of both. I'll check my settings on the REL to be certain.

Precisely!  At the low levels I listen at 90% of the time the 3.6's just don't provide what you described whereas, IMHO,  the 3.5's did - thanks in part to the bass equalizer no doubt. This "little" REL has truly made the 3.6's sound better. Not too shabby considering that they're truly remarkably fine speakers to begin with. 

The bass now has that sense of "feel", not heard that you remarked upon. Love it. Thanks for putting into words something I could not.
