Calling Thiel owners please...

The spikes on the Thiels (I used to own the CS1.5s) are pretty darn poor. goto audiopoints.com and get yourself some killer platforms (cones/spike system) to put your babies on. You'll think you bought new speakers. Speak to Robert over there. He be da man. peace, warren

I agree with Warren, but they make special spikes for Thiels, I think I would just use them instead of a platform. It would be nearly as good sonically and a fraction of the price. Here's a link to the audiopoints web site that has a picture of the thiel points, if they are the right ones I wouldn't hesitate to give them a shot.

I can't imagine breaking a spike on my 1.6's. I did break a speaker wire binding post (due to the hole drilled for bare wire -may I ask WHO uses bare wire???). I did have to replace a spike due to clogged threads, however (dealer swapped with a floor model spike).

Spikes and their platform system: two different animals. One (spikes) is good and the other is: whoa! Check with Robert. He'll set you free. You'll be happy either way. peace, warren

Thanks yall - I think I'll give audiopoints a try!
