Thiel Owners

Has anyone ever seen a pair of CS1.5 that have white cones in the mid-woofers?

I tried to post photos but unable from my computer.  The mid-woofers look like they belong. They have rubber surrounds but white cones instead of dark cones, and they have the little black pointed dust caps that others have.  The speakers sound wonderful.

Hi all,

I have an opportunity to purchase a pair of Thiel Model 02's. Do these have foam or rubber surrounds... I've found online info that suggests it could be either ?

How do I be sure the drivers are original without removing them from the cabinets ? Speaker serial numbers are in the mid 300's.  Thank you.

Thank you Tom I appreciate it. 

I drove to audition the 02's.  They sounded good but the cabinets showed more damage to the wood veneer than I was comfortable with so I did not purchase them. So I drove another hour and auditioned a really nice set of CS2.2 which I'm just getting setup in my listening room.

After spending a good part of nine days with the new-to-me CS2.2 speakers, I can say they are a substantial upgrade in every way over my CS1.5 which I still think highly of. Detailed but not harsh, balanced, and good imaging despite still finding the best location for them. The highs are airy, mids are very good, and sometimes I think the bass is slightly lacking.... then the mood of the music changes or I change genres and suddenly all the bass in the music is there.

@tomthiel,

Thank you. I too think the CS2.2 and that tweeter are pretty special and will look forward to hearing more about the enhancements.
