| Thiel Owners Guy48065 - contact Gary Dayton at Coherent Source Service. Tom | |
| Thiel Owners foamcutter - congratulations on your purchase. The CS2.2 is dear to me, having served as my location recording monitor and small venue playback for 35 years. I have recently been developing performance upgrades, and the 2.2s have served as workho... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the instruction on the Copland. What do you suppose accounts for the Kinki Studio superiority with Thiels? | |
| Thiel Owners audiofilo123 - the 'funny' part about your Copland amp comment is that Thiel speakers require current-source power rather than the ubiquitous voltage sources. An amp that will drive a Thiel, including your little CS.5s, should double its 8 ohm pow... | |
| Thiel Owners foamcutter - your best source of further information is Gary Dayton at Coherent Source Service. The model 02 woofer had a rubber surround on a paper cone. It was made by GEFCO of Illinois. Woofer: Gefco 4829 6.5” 6 ohm 1” aluminum former Tweete... | |
| Thiel Owners John - Jim worked hard in the CS1.6 to bring the sensitivity up. His spec was 90dB@2.83V. Stereophile’s review measured 94dB. So, amps far less powerful than for normal Thiels will work on the 1.6. The impedance runs just under 4 ohms across the b... | |
| Thiel Owners Unsound - I agree with you. The equalizer does everything right sonically. The bass extension rolls off at the bottom at 12dB/ octave like real unamplified output. The upper frequency electronic ’tizz’ is solved with the new unit. Our problem, es... | |
| Thiel Owners In the early years, Thiel considered reflex bass as a necessary cost-compromise only for entry level products ie home theater and models 1 and 2. When it came time to replace the CS3.5 with the 3.6, I resisted going to reflex bass in the 3, which ... | |
| Thiel Owners Correction - the CS1.7 is the CS1.6 next-generation tweeter (not coax.) | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - Gary can handle all your needs. He was a rising star at Thiel and after resigning in the early New Thiel era he became Bryston's USA sales manager and then worldwide Marantz brand manager for Sound United. When that company became turbulent... | |
| Thiel Owners Thank you. | |
| Thiel Owners Our plan is to have it available for a long, long while. There's plenty happening behind the curtain, but for now keep calling CSS as you have been for the past 7 years. | |
| Thiel Owners Hello Folks, For those of you who don't know, Gary Dayton has bought CSS from Rob Gillum who has retired for family needs. The transition has been January through May. Gary has made a formal announcement and provided more detail on the Thiel Aud... | |
| Thiel Owners andy2 - Up and down is a weak point of minimum phase, multi-driver transducers. The coax is much better than discrete drivers, but coax to woofer geometry still comes into play. Right-left-depth is their strong suit. The up-down problem is exacerb... | |
| Thiel Owners I ask because the 1.7 is in a 1.6 enclosure. The chief differences are an additional bucking magnet on the tweeter, and the star-plane woofer. I hope to find a 1.7 to dissect, listen to and measure. What is on my radar is to recreate Jim's CS1.7,... |
