Thiel Owners

Hi, there was an opportunity for some cs 3.7 in my area - and I took it. As a long-time owner of 1.5s they have always been my dream speakers. I knew that my living room situation would not be perfect for them because of the small space and large windows. The room is about 4x4m (12x12ft) but opens up on one side in a larger dining and kitchen area. I'm glad I bought them. Finding the perfect position is tricky and I'm sure sound would improve a tick in a larger space but overall it works out fine. In the end my fear of oversizing was unfounded. Sound is on a whole new level, much closer to a live performance. I enjoy them very much.Have a nice day!

That is great! I would want to own a 3.7 one day too!

Hi maplegrovemusic, the 7's need a powerful amp, any clipping and you will blow the tweeters. I have a pair, but I am not set up to use them as they need to be on the long wall, so they are collecting dust...

Advice please..... My CS3.6s #4789, #4790 produced 5/22/96 seem to have a subtle midrange degradation (slightly grainy and less focused??). Rob did the soft dome rebuild of my tweeters 5/2022, but all other components are original. Other than listening, is there a method to test their performance or should I send the midrange drivers to Rob? Could it be the crossovers?

jon - it could be anything in the entire chain from source to speakers. Time for classic, systematic troubleshooting.

The likelihood of XO problems is very small, and XO problems tend to exhibit frequency-related / balance problems. A rubbing voice coil is possible. Feel free to PM me for troubleshooting advice.
