Then warm is welcomed. Back when there were such things I would go into audio stores and listen to the latest greatest speaker, only to be assaulted by overbearing brightness, that look at me demo sound of a Threshold amp driving Thiel speakers. (Yes, brick and mortar has been dead around me since 2000)

I find treble to be very important.
I LOVE treble.
The one thing which stands out about treble is:
No one can stand crappy treble.
So if the treble is poor, everyone thinks "This is too loud treble'
Were if it was perfect. the exact same dB level would be PLEASING to the ear.
That is THE TRUTH.
It takes a lot of work to make treble good. Really good.
Then you can listen to loud treble, and your ears are happy.
must have been a bad trip-Chip647
Thiel loudspeakers are very rich sounding related to "timbre".
The Thiel speakers you have listened to may well be. The 90's were a different era.
Agreed-
many do like those early Thiel speakers. My journey began w/ the CS 2.4 loudspeaker. I feel Mr. Thiel really perfected his particular design on this one, as the passive Bass radiator, is oval shaped.
These are very revealing speakers. Components must be chosen wisely.
They play well (no pun) w/ both ss and tubed gear. Finally, most dealers/retailers do not set up correctly, offer poor sound rooms for audition.
