Hi just curious, are both speakers CS7 (paper drivers) or 7.2 (aluminum drivers)?
Thiel CS7 experiment
I thought I would share an experiment I did with my Thiel C7 speakers, which probably not too many people may have tried. I have owned a pair of Thiel CS7’s since 1996 and am still extremely happy with them. I was worried about them breaking down after all these years, and bought another pair as spares. The spares are in excellent condition, and as an experiment, I hooked them up to my Krell 350 MCx monoblocks as a second pair. So now I am listening to two CS7s per channel. Has anyone else tried two speakers per channel? I can only say that it sounds amazing. A wall of sound, great imaging, great bass. Call me crazy, but I am keeping it this way.

@preener2 I have the CS7 speakers, not CS7.2. The base drivers are aluminum. The mid-low some type of plastic foam, the mid-low also uses some type of foam, the tweeter is aluminum. I don’t think paper is used for any of the drivers. |
Hi oeneroorda, Yes, my use of "paper" was not a good choice. It was a long time ago that I upgraded to the 7.2, it was a difficult mod at times and did cost a pretty penny. For a laugh, I ended up putting the mid driver I took out of the 7.0's, and put them in my pinball machines, High Speed and Xenon. They sound great! Happy Listening! |
Hello, no, I never tried the dipole arrangement. It's not so easy to move the speakers around, and the backward-firing speaker would be a bit close to the wall. My speakers are in a dedicated music room and don't disturb my living room. True, most women would faint at the thought of having these big speakers in the living room. I am very happy with the performance of the double speaker setup. The Krell 350 MCx monoblocks drive them nicely. |
