| Thiel Owners Tom I appreciate the back story on the cs 5 ironically As you know they used a concrete baffle on the cs7 so Jim must have realized that the direction you wanted to go with the baffles back then was the superior way to go. | |
| Thiel Owners @jazzman7 thanks for the reply I will have to make a trip there when things settle down | |

| Thiel Owners Tom that’s great to hear about cs7s please elaborate more on your impressions of the 7s vs the 7.2s and any other info you may have learned on your trip. | |
| Thiel Owners I just purchased cs 7s I am very happy with them and they are a big improvement over my 3.6s I had. that being said my bryston 4b is not able to make them sing like it did with the 3.6s while I’m sure the 7.2s are better for me I couldn’t justif... | |
| Thiel Owners Just purchased a pair of cs 7s today from Andy at Saturday audio exchange bringing them home tomorrow!! Traded in my beloved 3.6s that I had for 27 yrs can't wait to get some listening time | |
| Thiel Owners Sad to hear audio consultants is closing all my gear including my 3.6s were bought there.I cant say enough good things about my dealings with them! | |
| Thiel Owners Tom FWIW I emailed rob a few months back asking about driver / parts availability for the cs5 and 7.2 as I want to get a pair of them rob said both are excellent speakers and that he has parts for both possibly a little longer for the 7.2s | |
| Thiel Owners I drank the kool-aid too!! Back in the early90s it’s delicious!!!! Have 3.6s which I love trying to upgrade to cs5i or 7.2s!! | |
| Thiel Owners Ronkent thanks for posting that a very interesting read! Thankfully we still have Tom and rob! |
