Tom & All

No Grill , In my opinion but I do suggest that one should try it .

I hear a taming or muffling ,  without the grills I hear nuonces that are lost but if your system is bright then maybe leave the grills on , again IMO .

So now every time I listen I have to take the grills off ! more work as if vinyl isn't already .

Can hardly wait for the Purity caps to arrive . 

Yes, grilles are a perpetual problem. But fragile drivers are a perpetual risk. I'm working on a more sheer grille that is not metal or foam.

I haven't gotten re-conformation, but the CCs were scheduled to ship Feb 2, now March 2.

I just bought a pair of viewpoints off ebay for a few hundred bucks.  They've been there for a while.  I'm trying to stop being a dick on the internet but that's a great driver combo/crossover in a metal box.  And I'm just buying it because I know it's gonna be great, I don't know what I'm gonna do with it.

How are the magnets mounted/installed on/in the front of the speaker ?

There are 4 of them , 2 above each speaker .

Grills off for listening and back on the rest of the time .

I'm in when you find the non metallic grill solution .

RE: Grilles, my ears could not detect any advantage/disadvantage. I think the Metallic grill is quite attractive and compliments Models CS 2.4 to CS 3.7 speakers.  Jim must have had his reasons for this design.

My question;

How far back does the Metallic Grill go in the Thiel Audio catalog?

Happy Listening!
