Thiel CS 3.6 mid-range problem

Masri, I would sell them for a figure generally suggested by the Audiogon bluebook and would add the cost of Thiel's refurbishing the bases (I don't think that will be much) if you want that done.

I would sell them thru Audiogon. I don't want to break any of the rules, especially since everyone on this web site has always been uniformly honest, and everyone seems to do their utmost to make sure that transactions are easy. However, I would be interested to know whether you might be interested, and if so, whether you would want the bases fixed. I could make a decision whether to purchase the 7.s's within about a week.

Your problem is not the same as THIEL's.
The mid range driver 'blew', in my humble opinion, as a result of the incredibly wide band width asked of the THIEL Mid Range driver. The crossover point AND the dynamic askance of that driver conspired to make it's output 'greater than it's ability'. This is not a surprise of most people who follow this kind of information.

I had a pair for 8 years powered by #333, ARC preamp, and #37 Transport + Sonic Frontier DAC. Used them also as the front channels in a hometheater setup as well. Never had any issues.

If you like these, I would recommend getting a pair of bases from Sound Anchors. They improve the bass quite a bit.

Thanks very much. I'll look into the Sound Anchors. Glenn
