Thiel Owners

Tom,

Thanks much for the background on the .5s.   Much appreciated.
My son has another year of grad school, then it will be time to be looking for an affordable amp to pair with those puppies as a graduation gift.

Good to read that we have another CS 2.4 owner among the Panel.
A Thiel loudspeaker makes a special gift indeed. Your Son is in for a musical treat.

Happy Listening!

@tomthiel Wow, that CS .5 decay plot is super clean! I would not expect a paper cone to do that!

Just FYI - Looks like Madisound has started carrying replacement drivers from Seas.

Only saw two there, but worth checking out. A titanium tweeter and a mid-woofer.

Beetle - I agree, one would not expect a paper cone to act that way. But it isn't truly a paper cone, but a multi-fiber cone with cellulose as one of the fibers. Jim developed that driver for the CS1.5 in parallel with another more expensive solution, which was chosen. I understand that the CS.5 was created to make use of that woofer.
And that decay plot also speaks to the solidity of the cabinet. Small is beautiful.
