THIEL CS 3.7 Floorstanding Loudspeakers Selling a beautiful pair of Thiel 3.7’s finished in Makassar Ebony. They have the outriggers included. I purchased these from another member early this year ,HIFI COLLECTOR They come with the cartons and grills and are in exceptional condition I'm blown away with the sound but am looking to go to an all Gryphon system so unfortunately these are being sold Am happy to demo for someone who is ready to buy . Would also trade for Graham Audio LS 5/8 or LS 8/1 Condition: Excellent Payment Method: EFT CASH Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia
Timing matters here because this is a classic older Thiel design, and the value case is mostly about whether you want that specific sound rather than chasing the latest model. At A$7,250, it is clearly ambitious against your recent AUD comp set: well above the A$3,465 75th percentile and far past the A$1,250 median.
That said, Thiel’s reputation is earned: these are known for superb imaging, coherence, and a very revealing, full-range presentation when set up properly. If the pair is genuinely excellent and complete, the upside is owning a serious audiophile floorstander that can still embarrass newer speakers on scale and realism. I’d only bite if you specifically want this model and can verify condition, drivers, and any original accessories; at this price, provenance and service history matter.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Thiel Audio emerged in 1976 from a Lexington, Kentucky garage, founded by university friends Jim Thiel, his brother Tom Thiel, and Kathy Gornik. With $25,000 borrowed from family and friends, they bootstrapped a high-performance loudspeaker company rooted in Jim Thiel's innovative engineering. The trio expanded into a 35,000-square-foot facility, exporting to over 30 countries and building a legacy of meticulous craftsmanship until operations ceased in 2018 following financial challenges and leadership changes after Jim's 2009 passing.
The brand focused exclusively on loudspeakers, pioneering time- and phase-coherent designs through Jim Thiel's Coherent Source technology. Signature sloped baffles ensured driver time alignment, paired with first-order crossovers, custom drivers, and furniture-grade cabinets. Iconic models like the CS2.4, CS3.7, and early CS01 spanned floorstanders, bookshelves, on-wall/in-wall options, and subwoofers for stereo, home theater, and whole-home audio, emphasizing realistic sound reproduction over gimmicks.
Thiel occupied a distinctive mid-tier high-end niche, delivering audiophile-grade performance—rivaling pricier exotica—at accessible prices for discerning listeners. Revered by enthusiasts for emotional, lifelike playback, its speakers remain collector favorites on the used market, though new production ended in 2018, cementing Thiel as a vintage icon of American hi-fi ingenuity.
