Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1

Hi Johnny,

I own both speakers now and I can honestly say that they both have great strengths. The Thiel CS6 is what I am presently using at this time. And being someone who has worked in the Music Industry, and has been in recording studios for over 40 years with Composers/ songwriters and arrangers like Ray Ellis, Marc Ellis, Jim Helms,Chris Houston,Peter Anders, Chris Mancini/Hanks son &Jan Berry just to name a few.
The Andra's are much more forgiving on bad recordings.

Hi Steve, I agree with you 100%.

After living with the Thiel CS6's. I sold the Eggleston Andra speakers.
Speakers that I've previously owned:
Vandersteen 3A SIGNATURE
Aerial 10T
Eggleston Andra l

Hi Pops,
Yep Thiel CS6's setup correct are fab.
Again why did Jim Thiel still use these even when the 3.7
came out.

Hi Steve, it's been a while since we spoke. A woofer went out in one of the Thiel's and I learned that they have to be removed from the bottom. Thiel wants $500.00 plus shipping to rebuild it. I wanted to ask you for any input regarding this. Also I saw that you sold yours. What did you replace them with?

Hope all is well. Alan

Hi Steve, Nice choice on the Manley upgrade. How does it sound? Regarding the woofer I tested it with a dc 1.5 volt battery and it needs to be repaired. I'm sending it back to Thiel to have it rebuilt. They're waiting for the parts. I spoke to Grant at Thiel who is helping me. I have to tell you that the dealer I purchased them from in Chicago, who's a Thiel Dealer told me. They have to be removed from the bottom. NOT TRUE. Grant talked to Rob Gillum who's been there for over twenty years and laughed. They come out the way I thought they would from the front. Rob said he was the one who assembled them and to use a 9/64 allen wrench to remove them. Hope all is well. Alan

Steve, I forgot to tell you that I purchased a one year old Pass labs 350.5 Amplifier. It should be here on the 4th.
Kent at Pass Labs convinced me. He told me that I will be amazed at the difference in performance with my setup.

Hi Pops, Do you know where a new woofer is available?

Pops, I was doing research and Thiel can only rebuild mine for $550.00 Alan

Thanks for getting back to me regarding my woofer that needs to be rebuilt. Thiel has the parts on order. I'm looking at around three weeks. Regarding the woofer removal. Are the leads that short to unsolder them? I was going to get a chair and get something close to the height in front of the speaker very carefully. But if the wires are too short, I guess I will have someone hold it while I do the unsoldering. Can you give me the heads up on this?

Hi Vegasears. I forgot to tell you that Thiel has new owners.

Hi Vegasears,

I plan to take out the woofer to send back to Thiel over the weekend. Are the wires connections very short?
