Hi guys, thanks this is my second pair or Thiel CS 3.7s that i kept 5 years before i sold them, this first pair was from 2009.
This time around my new pair purchased 2 months ago is from late 2011 and has the latest crossovers before they stopped producing.
I'm very happy because this later pair is just like new and the finish is a dark Amberwood really beautiful.
Also this time around i finally put together some serious gear to make them sing.
The power reserve and tonality of the Diablo 300 is the perfect match for the 3.7s.
I plan on purchasing 2 sets of Critical Mass Systems Center Stage 2 to put under the streamer and DAC.

Congratulations on a great setup!

As much as I like your gear I have to say I noticed that door behind your speaker.
That is old world construction! I would love to see pictures of the entire room.

It's a twelve century house but not mine anymore because we sold it in April of this year.
I'm in the process of buying a new house, should move in during october meanwhile i'm staying in my old house for a couple of months therfore i'm not doing any room treatment for now.

Beautiful system and room! I also have a Diablo 300. I notice you're using Gryphon interconnects, did you try other brands too before ending up with them?

No i haven't, i chose Gryphon VIP series because i wanted the best synergy for my Diablo 300.

Beautifully put together.

 

[Thieliste]

A couple of updates.

 

[Thieliste]

Roon Rock NUC is now powered by a Farad Super 3 LPS with Orange fuse and the Router is powered by an Sbooster Mk2 LPS.
I also purchased 3 Artesania Dampers for the Switch and Aqua combo.
All great improvements.

This DAC is difficult to beat for the money.
Now i'm trying to learn how to use the upsampling.
