Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange


I thought the 7.2 could play very loud without any problem. Although I haven't been playing extremely loud (90 db peak), one of the tweeters was blown. I am sending it back to Thiel for repair. Anyone has similar problems? I am using 200 watt mono blocks with 4 ohm setting.

I don't think 90 dB should be any problem at all for Thiel's previous top of the line, that is with appropriate amplification of course.
Sounds like a driver problem to me, I don't want to jinx myself but I drove my 3.6 with 200 watt classe power for years and it could get congested when cranked on dynamic music. Macintosh 501 mono's made this a different speaker!

However, unless you play really loud more frequently than not...I mean party loud you should have enough power with your lamms IMO.
Tom_hankins,
I am not a fan of Krell at all. I guess I may try a big Krell some day when an opportunity comes up. Not to offend anyone, my past experience with Krell (older models) was that they sounded whitish or bleached. Don't know about the newer Krell sound though. The Lamm has a very nice balanced and rich sound.

Folks,
I have been playing at around 90 db for the past two years without any problem. I hope it was the tweeter's fault. I will report as soon as I hear from Thiel, possibly some time next week since this is a long weekend. Stay tuned.
My tweeter has been repaired free of charge. Gary Dayton from Thiel told me that the tweeter's moving part failed. My amps didn't burn the tweeter. That is why they didn't charge me for the repair. Now I am in business. Thiel's customer support is excellent and Gary was extremely professional and helpful.
Glad it was not the amps, and you are are back to listening to music. I have also had nothing but the best service from Gary and Thiel.
