Thiel Owners

abmeyer - the CS7 and 7.2 can be differentiated by their midrange driver. The original 7 has a flat polystyrene driver, whereas the 7.2 has a shallow anodized aluminum cone.

Thanks everyone.  Tom - that's very helpful.  I can tell that they are original 7s.  Someone had just asked me to add a picture of the model and serial number to some photos I was going to use to find them a new home.  I'll have to see if I can borrow some muscle to help tilt them, I guess (or find the receipt).  My 83 year old friend is not going to want to be my muscle.

Tip - 2/3 of the weight is in the bottom half, so laying it down onto its back (onto pads so you can re-lift it) becomes a more

manageable 50# more or less. Just a thought.

CS3.6 speakers are a good choice and a bargain at that price but I would be asking Tom his opinion about the fact that the tweeters and midrange speakers were replaced before you buy .  

My dad’s friend found the original receipt for me - Thiel CS-7 #795 and 796. I think that should satisfy.
