Thiel Owners

tomthiel:
Do the screws to the passive radiators of the 3.6’s need to be tight? I checked all the screws to the midrange and tweeter (a couple needed a 1/16 of a turn or so) but the radiator screws had quite a bit of play. Just wondering if they are for position adjustment or for coupling to the baffle.
Thanks,

This probably isn't relevant, but years ago I had Thiel 3.6's driven by Muse model 175 monoblocks.  On one particular CD, a Chandos recording of Martinu piano sonatas, there was a short passage that always seemed to excite one of the tweeters, causing a clipping-like distortion (amps were far from overdriven).  No other music caused this, and the same passage on the same CD played on several other systems caused no problems.  The exact reason was never discovered.  I moved on to Proac Response 2.5's.

Hi All,

is there any place I can pick up new drivers for my Thiel CS6’s? I think all of my woofer and coaxial drivers need replacement or refurb.

please advise.

thanks!

brettmcee,

I just did the same thing purchased from Rob and have an extra set of Tweeter/mids I may part with. 
I'm going to refinish the cabinet and make them look current and new. I'm going to machine a pair of custom outriggers for them also. 

What color/finish are yours?

gs5556- yes the passive screws lock the radiator to the baffle, and must be tight. And yes, they do come loose with vibration. You might try some removable Locktite, etc. or snug them every month or curse them, but that probably won't help.
