Thanks Jafant.  I figured it was a long shot.  The CS6 are single owner speakers and I've never seen Thiel woofers that warped.  Not sure what happened.

I have a pair of Thiel CS6 that have warped woofers and most likely need replacement.  Are the 10" woofers used in the Thiel  SS2 the same ones used in the CS6?

Thanks for the suggestions here.  Yes, I've posted a WTB ad for an LS15 or 16.  I already have a AR PH3 phono preamp so no built in phono stage needed.  
Paypal Changes for 2022
Got it.  It looks like we have to file a schedule C to list cost of goods sold and can write off travel expense, packing materials, etc.  Seems like a real pain, but the only way to keep from paying tax on the total amount listed on the 1099.

So, what's the solution?  Do we have to keep track of what we paid for an item vs. what we sold it for or won't that matter?  If you sell $5,000 worth of equipment this year, you'll get a 1099-K for $5,000 for additional income?

I believe this is $600 total for the year, not just transactions that each total $600 or more?    
Preamp recommendations for Aragaon Palladium amps?
Thanks for the replies.  I've located a Plinius 16M preamp and will see how it sounds with the Palladium amps.   
Fostex BK-16 Folded Horn Kit
I actually built these speakers a few years ago. I've been using them with an older NAD receiver and surprised at how good they sound. I'm sure they'd be a great match with a tube amp also. 
REL subwoofer selection T5 T3 or R series
The Strata III is not ported like the Storm and Stadiums are. Many REL fans like the Strata III in smaller rooms since they feel it's faster than the ported models are.
