Rocly Mt 2007: Thiel CS3.7 Shines
October 18th, 2007 — By The Absolute Sound

The long-awaited Thiel CS3.7 loudspeaker ($9800 per pair) sounded terrific in the room of retailer Denver Audio Designs.
Driven alternately by Bryston electronics (including their new $2k CD player, which is generating quite a buzz) and those from Simaudio, the CS3.7s sounded better than I’ve heard them before.
These new Thiels had a startling clarity and transparency, and completely disappeared into the soundstage.
The CS3.7’s employs radically different driver technologies, including flat aluminum woofer and a tweeter coaxially mounted inside the midrange for perfect phase coherence no matter where you sit.
The CS3.7 is an important new product; watch for a full review in The Absolute Sound. Check out the rest of our Rocky Mountain Audiofest 2007 impressions here.
