Feel free to join us over on the Thiel Owners thread. There are quite a few fans of the 3.6 loudspeaker. It appears that you have an extensive history w/ Thiel Audio- my kind of Audiophile.
Happy Listening!
Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6?
I have a pair of Thiel CS 3.6 that I’ve owned for about 12 years. I think they’re fantastic.
Just curious... have there been driver advancements that I might benefit from?
Has anyone tried swapping out drivers and if so, were you pleased with the results?

gpaulmg1 I've owned my 3.6s for about 21 years and am experiencing a similar issue. I had my amp (Naim NAP300DR) updated about 1 1/2 years ago and that's when I first noticed an upper-mid/lower-upper harshness and "hashy" sound. I'm still not sure if the issue is in the speakers or elsewhere. I'm waiting for the speaker upgrades to become available and am also looking into a possible component issue. But--the 3.6s are great speakers and worth the effort. |
rosami21 years!!! You are a definite candidate for the tweeters ferro fluid clean out and replenish. "This will make your Thiels sing again, do not discount it as they are well over the date where the ferro fluid has dried out into glug and killing the performance of that great tweeter. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1898655 Your sound will open out more, become more dynamic, even the bass will have better leading edge to it’s snap. Capacitors on the tweeter are all polypropylene (plastics) and don’t go bad like electros do, which would be on the bass. Stereophile: Cheers George |
