Good Day All,

anyone else here stoked about the re-designed Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker? Shipping begins next month.
Happy Listening!

With the 2.7 at $7999, the prices have certainly gone up. The SCS4T always seemed like a temporary fill in product.
If 2.7 is under 8k then the management has taken a hatchet to the prices of the whole product line. Sad to see the scs4t go. Would have been interesting to see it with a cs3.7 midrange driver on a scs4t.t
Right On! guys. it would appear that the new CEO is thinking outside of the 'box' w/ competitive prices.
Both CS 1.7 & CS 2.7 are a great bargain, respectively.
I have not looked at the 1.6, 2.4 prices is a couple of years, but it seems like the 1.7 price is a big increase from the 1.6 and the 2.7 is a big increase from the 2.4 The 1.6 was in the mid $2s and the 2.4 in the mid $4s last I looked. Looks like big price increases to me. I have not heard either of the new speakers so I cannot comment on how they compare to speakers in their comparable price ranges. But it seems like their entry level real floor stander is now $4K. That seems like a big change to the product line.
NOS 1.6s are selling for around $2700 or so depending on the cabinet finish...used ones seem to be all over the map from maybe $600 to $1200. 4 grand sticks the 1.7 in a very competitive zone...PMC, Usher, Focal, etc., all have some bitchen' speakers in that price range.
