Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange


I thought the 7.2 could play very loud without any problem. Although I haven't been playing extremely loud (90 db peak), one of the tweeters was blown. I am sending it back to Thiel for repair. Anyone has similar problems? I am using 200 watt mono blocks with 4 ohm setting.

Glad it was not the amps, and you are are back to listening to music. I have also had nothing but the best service from Gary and Thiel.
Judging from what I have used with my thiels i would think you need more amp. even when using my Ayre V-1XE it became compressed at times when driven loud and was always running very hot trying to push the Thiels. it is rated at 200/8 and 400/4. I also noticed the Parasound JC-1s I used with mine never really took hold of the speakers the way they did with other speakers I used them with. I am using big Krells now and, WOW! I also tried the big Pass amps and thought they did a good job but preffer the sound of the Krells.
I am using the FPB 650M monoblocks. But someday when my wallet is fatter, I am going to go with the 750 cxm monoblocks. :)
Whats funny is I had never been a big fan of the Krell amps until I heard them with the Thiels.
