Thiel Owners

@jafant Writing of my speakers cables. Sold the NR to help pay for the GR. That said, Cardas ICs are also excellent, IMO.

I just wonder when a proper prospective investor/buyer, that will stick to thiel’s original ideology/ideas with love and care, Will buy the company and make the retro designs and begin the stride to new designs building on Thiels ideas properly. Oh god I would love to see thiel audio come back to life making the proper products rather than what came after the x.x models. I wish I had the money to do this personally cause I love audio and watch videos on making speakers all the time.

Just for kicks and because I don't absolutely have any space left in my man cave but have wanted to own a little piece of Jim Thiel's legacy. I
spent less than 2 Fraklins for a pair of CS.5. which are in very good condition for their age. It's hard to believe that such beautiful sound could be coming from a pair of speakers that look like toys! If these could sound this good, I can just imagine how the big boys sound like. Much as I long to go for the proper sized Thiels, there's just no room for them. 
Love my Mighty Mites!!

@nicco Had a pair of CS .5 in my living room rig from 1996 to 2011 before graduating to the CS 2.4. The CS .5 is indeed a remarkable speaker. I’ll never forget when a professional musician friend of mine dropped by, a saxophone player, and Paul Desmond just so happened to be playing on the stereo. His jaw practically dropped as he remarked that he couldn’t believe how good the sound was. When I upgraded, my dealer offered me $200, but I couldn’t bare to part with them. Have them bubble wrapped, sitting in my crawlspace, ready to be handed over to my son once he has a place of his own to put them.

Nicco & jazzman - for the record, there is a deep supply of woofers and tweeters to maintain the CS.5.
