It is all relative -Unsound. Upon release of the CS1.6, at that time, the suggested price was $2300.
Right On! Q

I already contacted John Atchison of Stereophile, to place a suggestion for an upcoming review!
All,

according to reports, the new CS 1.7 does in fact replace the 1.6 model. Price is suggested at $5495.

Any of you guys own the 1.6?
Right On! Dtc,

I am not certain about the customer capture segment for the SCS4T. Hopefully, the new CEO will stick to the CS 1.7, 2.7 and 3.7 loudspeaker lines!
Happy Listening.
Right On! guys. it would appear that the new CEO is thinking outside of the 'box' w/ competitive prices.
Both CS 1.7 & CS 2.7 are a great bargain, respectively.
Not a bad idea, Wolf. I have thought about picking up a pair of the 1.6's myself. Have you ever auditioned the 2.4?
Right On! Wolf. Those Silverline speakers are nice indeed.
By using a REL sub, you are using the best sub in the business!

Happy Listening!
An update for those interested in this speaker;

40+ pairs will ship to dealers/retailers next week.
Happy Listening!
The best update from Thiel;
during CES 2013, a suggested price was set @ $5495.
I just received an update from Thiel's customer service that reported the previous figure was incorrect. An introductory price for the CS 1.7 is now under $4K.
This is going to be an outstanding value!

Happy listening!
Many Thanks! All for your input. I hope to demo both the CS 1.7 & CS 2.7 soon!

Happy Listening!
For those interested;
have any of you guys auditioned this speaker at your local retailer/dealer?

Happy Listening!
Many Thanks! Audio2Cool.

do you have any CS2.4SE models? If so, what are the serial #'s ?
Much Thanks!

yes, you will need at least 500 hrs of break-in.

I have yet to demo the Cs2.7. I liked the 3.7, too large for my room. So, it will be a toss up between the CS2.4SE (really liked these) or the CS 2.7 -
I wanted to re-visit this thread. I did buy a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE from an audiophile in Texas. Nice guy, has an incredible listening space and quite a collection of cds and records.

Any of you guys liking the CS 1.7 speakers?
