Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?

Cmalak,
I have listened to a few of those tube drive SS out amps, latest CJ's and even Lamm's are not my cup of tea! I found them just couldn't bring out the best of both media. I am thinking of keeping the CJ350 and add a tube amp to my gears, swap them around with different music.

Luna thats what my buddy did but like I said he needs a higher powered tube amp to get the most out of the 3.7's. If you can afford to go this route then I would do it. It would be fun to switch out amps for different music :)

James63,
In that same S'phile review he states that 'while some of the THIEL's sounded bright, these DO NOT'--that the blend of the coaxial driver/midrange is perfect giving them the smoothest sound of any THIEL, or words to that effect.

Larry,

I agree, I did not think they were bright. I thought they were the most balanced speaker I have heard. I also do not think they need tubes to sound expectable (or their best). They seem to need power and tubes just seem like a waist when you get into high power. If someone has lots of money to through at high power (good) tube amps, they most likely would be looking at more expensive speakers. Just my opinion of corse, enjoy the music.

Hey James63,

You pointed me to the Thiels CS3.7 back in Feb 2009 in an Audiogon thread. Thanks for the info. I will be getting this speaker to Enjoy the Music.
