Thiel Owners

Welcome! Good to see you here.  Nice score on those CS3 loudspeakers.

I will keep my eyes peeled for another CS3 speaker. What other gear and cabling are you planning? I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes.

Happy Listening!

Friday the 13th - All

Hello Jafant,

Thank you for welcoming me. It is a pair of Model 03 speakers that I have acquired. I am on the hunt for a set of woofers for them (Eminence 10101 or equivalent). 

Once I have them restored, I will likely back them with a Juicy Music Blueberry (Extreme with Cream) preamp and a Musical Fidelity M6-PRX amplifier. I mainly listen to rock, pop, folk and soul from the 60's and 70's, but am not limited to these. Like many, I still enjoy the music of my youth.

Jeff - most 03s were sold with the EQ, which gave Jim the courage to design the 03a with sealed bass that is dependent on the EQ.

Regarding the other driver numbers, here's the missing link for you. All Thiel's drivers from the beginning were somewhat custom designed. In the case of the Eminence and Vifa woofers our required excursion far exceeded norms because our equalizer boosted the bass. Those custom drivers were not proprietary to us, but they quite likely never entered the catalogs because virtually no one else bought them.
