| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Got it, thanks for clarifying. Looking at pics of both subwoofer versions the difference is clear now. Thank you. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Thank you for this fantastic write-up of the differences between the two versions. Most CS5 owners upgraded to the CS5i. Great to know that some of the CS5 out there may actually be functionally equivalent to CS5i The only visual d... | |
