Thiel Owners

Is there a list of torque values for the screws that hold the drive units in place? I had to retighten mine when the speakers started buzzing and had to guess at how tight. I remember reading somewhere that all the screws were torqued during assembly but Thiel never replied with any values when I emailed them several years ago.I have CS1.6s.

OK Thanks Tom. I have a pair of Naim NBLs in another system and they have a specified tightening torque of 3.6Nm for the mid range drivers (but just a warning not to mess with the bass) possibly a bit tight for the Theals, which do have metal to metal threads, it feelt tight to me anyway. I didn't tighten the Theil's bolts as tight as that.

My only experience of amps on the 1.6s has been Accuphas (too tame), Rega Cursa/Maia (not quite enough in reserve when called upon but up for it), and Naim 282/250 same RMS power as the Regas 80W but with a much better transient reserve and these coped very well. With the exception of the Accuphase these amps could make the Thiels Rock, not something they seem to be noted for I gather. A Rega Osiris would be worth a try if available too from what I've heard from it elsewhere.
