Thiel CS6

Though very fine speakers in their own right, in the past, I've always thought that the CS6's were the poorest value in the Thiel lines. The newer SCS4T might now be the poorest value in the Thiel lines.

The value of the spikes will be determined by the flooring underneath them.

If the floor tends to vibrate, the spikes could exacerbate the problem, if floor the doesn't tend to vibrate, the spikes should improve things.

Stringreen, I would suggest that is true of the higher end Vandersteens, but at the lower end the opposite is true, with their respective subs all bets are off.

"...,the CS6 is a true full range speaker." Well, not really.

"...You're not missing anything music wise;..." Well, not really.

No, not really.

Chicargospec, one thread answered with an inaccurate overstatement, followed by two personal attacks. Welcome aboard. Perhaps I may suggest you consider reading Dale Carnegie's book.

Tonywinsc, as you've already posted, human hearing reaches down to 20 Hz, and there are some instruments that that can be heard as well as felt below 27 Hz. Granted many are not too common, though the Bosendorfer grand and such pipe organs aren't all that unusual, and I have heard some of the above linked contra instruments. Most western music is written with the idea that the first octave begins at 16 Hz. For the sake of accuracy, I stand by my earlier posts.

Tonywinsc, I stand corrected. Thank you for clarifying that. Subsubcontra begins at 13.75 Hz. I was incorrect in extrapolating that early organs rarely played below 16 Hz.
