Thiel Owners

Hey Guys!  I'm fairly new to this thread however, I have been watching from the sidelines for about a year or so and have greatly appreciated all information the advice that has been posted.  I own a pair of CS 3.6s which I absolutely adore.  As with other Thiel owners, I am concerned about replacement parts or repair should they have issue in the future.  I am wondering about part compatability specifically the tweeter.  Does anyone out there know if the tweeter for the CS 2.2 is the same as the CS 3.6?

Welcome!  good to have you aboard here. Standby until one of our CS 2.2 or 3.6 experts can chime in to address your query.  I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes and system.

Happy Listening!

Nice score on the CS 2.4 loudspeaker in beautiful Cherry finish. You have an excellent pair of ears my Audiophile friend, as your precise description of the presentation and sound of the 2.4, is accurate.
As evidenced by my earlier posts upon starting this thread back in 2016, the hidden musical value of CS 2.4, can be conveyed with a modest integrated amp (Creek in my evaluation) all of the way up to monster separate power amps (Class A, Class A/B, Class D).  The choice is up to the owner.

Happy Listening!

Spur - Rob Gillum of Coherent Source Service has repair parts and experience for all Thiel models.

To your direct question: Yes, same tweeter. That tweeter was developed fully in-house for the CS5 and also used in the 2.2 as well as the 3.6. Of course it has been eclipsed by further ongoing development of rare earth focusing magnets and such, but it is a very good tweeter incorporating considerable sophistication.  There are probably somewhere around 25K of them out there, so snag them when you can.

Thank You for addressing the query from stspur. I wanted to give you guys an update on this beautiful Spring day here in the deep South. I took stock of the AYRE DX-5 universal player. This is a cherry of a spinner that made its way from Colorado back to me with a new drive/transport laser assembly. Said player is now glitch-free, providing superb, CD/SACD playback. (2) shout outs are in order. First- to the guys at Hifi Buys Atlanta. Second- to Mr. Gary Mulder head of customer service at Ayre Acoustics Boulder. Presentation and sound mated with the Twenty Series electronics are damn fine.  I will post a pic in a few days via Virtual Systems.  Happy Listening!
