| Thiel Owners @danomar If you're ever 150 miles west in Birmingham, you can come by and listen to my CS3.6s. See my virtual system for details. It was at Audio Alternative in your hometown of Lilburn that started my passion for Thiel. The setup was Thiel SCS4s... | |
| Thiel Owners Anyone looking for a pair of 2.3 coaxial drivers? I wish these were new/old stock 3.6 tweeters. I’d like to buy and compare unused aluminum tweeters with my new replacement soft dome tweeters. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisai53b-thiel-cs-2... | |
| Thiel Owners After nearly 2 weeks of heavy play with the new soft dome tweeters from Rob at CSS, the brightness is totally resolved! Amazing! These are definitely an upgrade over 26-year-old aluminum dome tweeters. @vair68robert- Thank you for the advice abou... | |
| Thiel Owners I received the soft dome tweeters, installed them in the 3.6s and listened throughout the weekend. Early on, they were fatiguing with increased sibilance, but seem to be approaching the original sound either from mechanical break-in or psychoacous... | |
| Thiel Owners @TomThiel The soft dome tweeter rebuilds are shipping back to me now. I asked Rob about his impressions and measurements and this is the limited reply: "I think you will find that the soft dome is compatible. I have sold around 30 of these units... | |
| Thiel Owners I removed the bad tweeter and measured open circuit on the multimeter (the good one measured 3 ohms). I have sent both to Rob for the soft dome rebuilt and will report back later. I will also be looking for 2 original pre-used tweeters as backup. | |
| Thiel Owners HELP! I need advise. I'm nervous. One of the tweeters went out on my 26 year old CS3.6s (SN# 4789,4790 produced 5/22/96). Amazingly, this is the first problem with these. This is Rob Gillum's response: "Sounds like the lead wires on the tweeter m... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, "We need to jump over lots of wonderful details to say that we established a well managed, continuous-yield program..." Your chronicles of Thiel Audio are captivating. We would love a book about Thiel Audio with all the details fill... | |
| Not manufactured any more. @mijostyn..."Speakers come and go. For most there is a reason they are no longer made." In Thiel's case, it's because the mastermind passed away, but I still think this speaker design is brilliant. With updated components and electronics as th... | |
| Thiel Owners Welcome potatoo, I also purchased my CS3.6s #4789 and #4790 from the original owner an hour away back in 2011. No other speaker I've auditioned since then have tempted me to change. I appreciate sharing the promotional stuff. I saved a copy for m... | |
| Thiel Owners @hifi28My 3.6s are in a room 24'x13' and with proper acoustic treatments, they work to perfection. You should be able to accomplish similar results.See virtual system https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6163 | |
| Desire to try tubes Audio Research VSI 60 Integrated Amp. This is the amp that "hooked" me on tubes. Since then I've moved to ARC Reference separates.https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649657751-audio-research-vsi-60-integrated-amp/ | |
| Thiel Owners 2 questions for the group.1. Where can I purchase proper speaker grill cloth for my CS1.2s? Is it the same for my CS3.6s?2. One of my CS1.2s cabinet (Amberwood) is slightly faded from the previous owner positioning with sun exposure. Is there an e... | |

| Stream Qobuz on Oppo BDP105 @simao......So a "Lightning-to-HDMI" adapter with Qobuz app on my iPhone will work? Would a "Lightning-to-USB" adapter work connected to the front USB 2.0 input connector? Would one be better quality with audio? |
