Thiel Owners

Happy Friday! All

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.

foamcutter - your best source of further information is Gary Dayton at Coherent Source Service.

The model 02 woofer had a rubber surround on a paper cone. It was made by GEFCO of Illinois.

Woofer: Gefco 4829 6.5” 6 ohm 1” aluminum former

Tweeter: Peerless KO 10DT 8 ohm

Second Thiel speaker released in autumn 1976 at $220 / pair

I aacpt your offer. What part of NC are you loctaed in?

Sorry for the late reply, I've been in Phoenix all week at a conference. I'm actually in West Virginia just outside of Washington D.C., sending you a PM to continue the discussion. 

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.
