| Who makes coax speakers? Some older Thiels. | |
| Thiel CS 1.2 Upgrade with SB Acoustic's The Ohm rating is a nominal one, not necessarily one that repeats it's impedance over the bandwidth of the driver in it's application. Furthermore, Jim Thiel designed his cross-overs to compensate for specific driver anomalies. Those specially d... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon Soderberg of Vintage Amp Repair, as well as the current owners of Threshold can service these older Thresholds. | |
| Thiel Owners I know nothing about this particular unit, or of the feedbackless seller, but if one could get an in house audition and pick up directly, this looks like a potential killer bargain, even if by chance it might need some maintenance, for some Thiel ... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof, you raise an interesting point about listener's height and seating distance; one that I raised to Jim Thiel many years ago (back when the CS 5's were released). Jim told me that at distances of 8' or greater that the sonic waves were so larg... | |

| Thiel Owners ^ do you have short lists of contenders and yet to auditions? | |
| Keep B&W 802 S2 or Buy Thiel CS5i?? I use the same Threshold S 500 II, and I'm not sure it's quite enough for the CS 5's to really perform to their capabilities. | |
| Keep B&W 802 S2 or Buy Thiel CS5i?? One of my all time favorite speakers!...., but they are extremely demanding of appropriate amplification, and space. Tread carefully. | |
| Used Preamp on a budget advice please. dastro, I haven't actually verified each of your proposed pre choices, but it would seem that many have balanced outputs, and your Threshold S 500 II only has single ended RCA inputs. It would seem to me as though quite a bit of cost (parts, etc.... |
