I have been the unfortunate victim of flooding and one of my Thiel CS-3.6 cabinets has been completely destroyed. It has sucked water and swelled destroying the veneer, MDF and all the joints in the speaker. The crossovers are undamaged. I have contacted Thiel, sent pictures and they basically indicated that I would need a new cabinet, this one was not salvageable. Dawn did some looking for me and the have a pair of near mint cabinets in cherry and would charge me $2000 for a full swap of the crossovers, drivers etc.
I cannot decide whether to part out the tweeters, drivers, grills (like new) and the crossovers? They are excellent speakers, but don't know if it’s worth it for 18 year old speakers. Dawn explained they do not produce any of the drivers offered for the 3.6, so they are rather expensive to come by, especially the tweeters.
Recommendations or comments? Or would anyone be interested in the parts? I really don’t know what to do.
I did not, wish I would have, then I wouldn't have had flood damage. I priced some from Sound Anchor for my CS3s, they were not too expensive from what I remember. Enjoy your Thiels!
$150 for the pair, I wouldn’t let just one go. Where are you located? Shipping wouldn't be out of the question, but these grills are constructed with an MDF frame, that is glued together, which makes me nervous shipping.
