Thiel speaker service

Hello, I just wanted to pass along about Rob at Coherent Sound and the repair he did on a tweeter/midrange driver that needed repair on my Thiel CS 2.3 speakers. Rob was very helpful and informative and the fastest turnaround time for a repair I have ever seen. The price was reasonable considering the repair that needed to be done, I would like to see more businesses operate that way. Anyway got the driver installed and the speakers sound great. I would highly recommend any Thiel owner to Rob for repairs.

^ As I understand it most Thiel driver failures are the result of underpowered / overdriven use. Being mindful of Thiel's minimum impedance and the amp's ability to truly handle it, and you should be OK. Even with the 1st order cross-over overlaps, most Thiel drivers are quite robust, and can handle quite a bit of power. 

The CS 3.5's mid-range replacements are a difficult find.

As I understand it Coherent Source has a lot of spare parts in stock, and repair kits as well. Upgrades are also on the horizon. Though not deficient or delicate, Thiel’s wouldn’t be my first choice if high play back volumes were the top priority. Rotating drivers is not unheard of with other brands, and some Thiel users have done so.
