Perhaps things have changed, but when a dear friend had Thiel CS 2 driver repaired, there were no such caveats. Only prompt, courteous, professional service. Needless to say, he was very pleased with the transaction. The current websites packing i...

^I wish Rob the best, but he never returned a call after leaving him a voice message many months ago.

^If you’re having doubts about going to Rob, perhaps you should consider reaching out to Miller Sound for top notch driver repair. 
How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp
I suggest buying amps for speakers, not speakers for amps (especially broken ones). 
What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping?
If the woofers are closer to the floor (as they typically are) you'll probably get some room gain there, so that might need to be considered as well. The cross-overs can play quite a part in this, just think of how much overlap there can be with 1...

@jthifi, excellent. Between Tom Thiel with Thiel’s and Jan Soderberg with Threshold’s; you couldn’t be in better hands. 
Thiel Owners
@JTHIFI, those Thresholds were over engineered and built to the most conservative and highest standards, i.e. the transistors are operating at only 20% of rated output. The only real wear concerns would be caps, power switch (a circuit breaker), f...

Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important?
It would seem to me that if one wanted to tailor the frequency response; it could be done more specifically and more consistently with an equalizer than with the chance of amplifiers not lining up with impedances of loudspeakers in just the right ...

@jthifi, It appears as though that auction closed without any bids. It might reappear for sale again.
