Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker

Near Boston. If you're coming over let me know so I can clean the place up a little.

I think the 1.7 replaces the 1.6, and will cost a lot more.

A local audio "salon" has the last "new from the factory" 1.6s and although they've priced them pretty high it's comforting to know they're out there as I like the way they sound...I have seen used 1.6's pricing all over the place so I'll just lurk until I can nab a pair on the cheap.

I want a 1.6...on my short list of audio wants. I will someday liberate one from somewhere...I mean two...I want two.

The 1.6 was maybe $2300 new? I've seen 'em used in perfect shape for far less...you want the outriggers because it's the only way to get them to sound like Polynesian canoes.

I'm waiting for my local shop with the remaining NOS 1.6s to have the "Thiel Blow Out Sale,"

Never heard the 2.4...I'm very happy with the sound of my current Silverline Preludes, but I'd like something more interesting to look at for my next speakers...the zebra ebony 1.6s just look great, and I do like smaller speakers...I use a REL sub.

Those NOS 1.6s are looking better and better.

NOS 1.6s are selling for around $2700 or so depending on the cabinet finish...used ones seem to be all over the map from maybe $600 to $1200. 4 grand sticks the 1.7 in a very competitive zone...PMC, Usher, Focal, etc., all have some bitchen' speakers in that price range.
