Thiel Owners

Your ears do not deceive. I, too, found the Quattro and Treo speakers on the lean side. And lacking weight in the Bass region(s). I would be interested in learning why Richard voiced these (2) models that way?

Happy Listening!

this tidbit just crossed my radar -Audiophiledirectory.com

Tom, this site is quite helpful and very informative. There is a Dealers search engine that can benefit as you map out your strategy for Thiel Renassiance.

A pair of CS 3.6 showed up on craigslist today. Asking $100. My curiosity was piqued; the owner, a very nice guy, shared that a cat had mauled just about every driver save one. Tweeters too... that cat must have been the size of a mountain lion.

I thought about it. On the one hand, I don’t want to be the guy who stuffs a bunch of Parts Express drivers into a pair of big Thiels. On the other hand, a proper restoration will cost more than a good pair of used CS 3.6, which is not the model I am looking for anyway.

I didn’t feel I could do them justice, so I let the seller know I had decided to pass.

And I’m kind of proud I did. Kind of proud of saying no to the siren’s song of yet another needy project.

I hope they go to a good home.

Happy Friday! All

All -

over on eBay there is a sweet pair of CS 1.7 speakers with Outriggers. Bird's Eye Maple finish.

Massachusetts (MA) area. It has been quite a long time since I have spotted this model for sale. I hope these loudspeakers find the next good home.

Happy Listening!
