Thiel Owners

Hello, to all here on this thread. I want to give a shout out to @Duramax747. Heed his advice; as it is without doubt some of the best posted here!

@unsound  Thank you - I confirmed with Hegel that they should have no issue driving them - they measured at 250 wpc at 8 ohms, 468 at 4 ohms, and 700+ (apparently) at 2 ohms, and they see no concerns. 

Sonically - i'm hopeful that they'll be a good match - very transparent as a component as well. 

Hi fellow Thiel owners, enthusiasts, and co-founder.

I recently purchased a pair of CS2 2 and CS3.6 that I am enjoying immensely and appear to function well. While this is the case I want to do two "maintenance" tasks to them:

1. Replace the tweeter ferrofluid
2. Replace the electrolytic capacitors

I have tried scouring the forum for specific directions and details on these two tasks, but I still have two questions relating to the tasks:

1.) Where is the best place to buy the ferrofluid? I am sure a ferrofluid is not all created the same. Finally, how much to use? I have heard descriptions, but is there a specified measurement?

2.) Has a currently available capacitor that is closest to the original spec been identified? 

I would like to keep both of these speakers stock unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise.

Thanks!

Welcome!  good to see you here. Nice pairing on those CS 2.2 & CS 3.6 loudspeakers. Take time to read back to a few pages where Tom discussed this very matter.  What other gear and cabling is in your System? Musical tastes?

Happy Listening!
