I have a few extra tweeters and midranges for Thiel O3a and CS3.5. I hesitate to sell any of them, because they are so difficult to find. If you love these speakers and have a few spare parts, would YOU sell them? So, I think we should set some prices, within this group of Thiel cognoscenti, that are not unreasonable to those of us who need a few, but also fairly representative of their difficulty to obtain. I would rather not take full responsibility for the high prices I am about to suggest, but here they are:
O3a tweeter: $300 each
CS3.5 tweeter: $250 each
CS3.5 midrange: $400 each
These are not my asking prices (yet), but my proposal for a group decision, based on what we know about their rarity. And these prices are for guarenteed working units, with maybe a little wrinkle or two in the tweeter dome or midrange dust cover, but no damage to them and excellent cone and surround quality (which can be replaced).
Now, if there are other, cheaper sources for exactly the same tweeters, please let us all know. The Audax/Polydax tweeters were standard parts, used by a number of speaker manufacturers, but still getting more rare all the time. But there are variations in mounting plate dimensions and in ohm impedance, that we have to be careful to get right, and the guarentee not to be DOA that we have to confirm.
