Thiel Owners

Thank you thoft for your taker on the 10f,   
jafant thanks for the welcome.

tomthiel Thank you for your input.  
FWIW   I have pulled the drivers and they are  labled "scan-sperak 13M Thiel  
code: 8521" .  

When I sent one back to Thiel years back they 

Those are what most everyone says are the original spec mids.   The surrounds sure look like foam to me - and gave out with tears like old foam.  Not black rubber but gray foam.

I examined the rear after pulling drivers and it also looked like foam glued to the paper cone.

bonedog - you have the right driver. I'm working from memory of 35 years ago and I have 2 originals here. Light gray surround matches paper cone color. 13M Thiel-8521.

The color of the foam (to my eye) does indeed match the color of the paper.

"Bone dog my thiel 3.5 have the scanspeak 10f in them I think they sound great"

Do your 10f mids have the waveguide (shallow horn?) flange on top of the 10f's.   I thought I had read that Rob of Coherent Source had assembled mids complete with that flange for a premium price - but I have not been able to reach him.

The Madisound '13M Replacement" has a flat flange that brings the diameter to the original's I believe, but does not include the waveguide.

Does anyone know if/ how that waveguide - which appears to be epoxied or bonded to the original driver, can be removed?   It would be nice to bond it to the Madisound 13m replacement. 

Interesting, FWIW, as of today TMR now has two pairs of maple CS 2.4 speakers listed for sale (having just listed the first pair yesterday, see my previous post).  For this pair they are asking $1799 + $299 shipping, with condition listed as 7 out of 10.  serial#  3601, 3602
