Welcome! Good to see you here. Yes, I have seen those very speakers per your query. Those white woofers are quite rare. If you like the presentation and sound of CS 1.5, the CS 1.6 is a measure better. The CS 1.7 is significantly better.
What gear and cabling is in your System?
Happy Listening!

Thank You for sharing your Customer Service experience with Rob at CSS.
Good to read that parts/rebuilds are still available for the CS 2.4 loudspeaker.

Mr. Rob Gillum is the expert. He will know the lifespan of those drivers.

What Gear and Cabling is in your system? Depending on format, some discs will present holographic, while others will not. Depending on recording, some discs will sound recessed.

I found the CS 1.7 a measure better in clarity and focus in the High(s) and Mid(s).
Bass tighter as well. This particluar model is smaller footprint of loudspeakers CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 A perfect match for an Integrated Amp.

The CS 1.7 also presents a deeper and wider Soundstage in comparison to models CS 1.5/CS 1.6 I hope this helps -Tom.

Excellent! I believe that the Star-Plane Woofer is the most redeeming factor in CS 1.7, setting it apart and better than CS 1.5/CS 1.6 speakers. Very cool planning a recreation of Jim's CS 1.7 model in 2025. I cannot think of a better offering to kick off Thiel Renaissance.

over on U.S. Audiomart there is a lot of Vifa D19 TD tweeters for sale. I thought that this could be of interest to you.

Welcome! Good to see you here this weekend. Never apologize for writing an insightful post! Thank You for citing your System(s). McCormack is a sonic match for Thiel loudspeakers are you are finding out. Equally good to read that Stealth Audio cabling is a sonic match as well. I look forward in reading more about your Musical tastes.

Welcome! Good to see you here today. NAD built a few sleeper products over the years. The C375BEE could very well be on of those products. As Tom pointed out, the CS 1.6 is not a difficult load to push. What other gear is in your System?

Good to see you here today. We have many fans/owners of CS 5 on The Panel.
Good to read that Kinki Studio, NAIM and Vincent are sonic matches.

Nice (potential) score on those 2.2 speakers. I certainly can attest for AYRE and Thiel being sonic matches. I enjoy the same Integrated Amp with CS 2.4SE loudspeakers.
