Agreed. AYRE is superb gear- Solid state with a Tubed soul.

Happy Listening!

Hello, everyone, this is a huge discussion and with a lot of great information but because of the number of posts, it is very hard to find a particular topic. Is there a way to search within this discussion? For example, search everything regarding CS2,  woofer repair, etc...

hifi28 - what seems to work best is to ask a specific question for someone who is knowledgeable to answer. Matters of repair and maintenance are best addressed to Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service.

The CS2 is of historic interest to me, being the first of its series and the highest-count sales of any Thiel product. Its woofer was a Vifa/Seas unit, probably repairable by Rob.

Happy Friday - All

tomthiel - there is a pair of CS2 available locally and I was wondering if is it worthwhile to consider getting them. The owner sold all his equipment so I will have to bring in my amps and cd player just to demo. 

On the pictures, I can see both speaker's tweeter and mid range dust covers are totally pushed in (like you are looking it backward). They don't look good but does it effect the sound or is there a way to pop it back out? I saw some reviews mentioned that the spike feets are essential for the CS2 for good sound quality, but is missing for this pair. Is replacement still available?

Also, some people describe the CS2's HF is hash, do you agree? I am wondering if my vintage gears will be a good match with the speaker; Mark Levinson ML-11 (50w into 8 ohms 100w into 4 ohms), ML-12, AudioQuest Indigo Blue speaker cable. My room in the basement is 19.5' x 11.5' with a 7' drop ceiling. 

Thanks.
