Thiel Owners

Tom
Have you ever considered writing a book about
Jim and the Thiel speaker company ?

I owned a pair of CS7's several years ago. The dynamic "slam" I got from them in some pieces of music was absolutely amazing. An upgrade from Thiel at the time was supposed to improve the high end but it never happened, IMHO. I sold them because they sounded too bright for me, even with good tube amps. 

Pulling the mids and I thought the phase would be obvious.   It's not.
There is one wire with kind of subtle red or rust coloring. The other white.  No + - on the driver.   I aim guessing the colored wire is positive but wanted to check with those who know. 

Hope you  all had great Thanksgivings.

bonedog - in speakers white is plus. The other may be tan, which is minus. I recommend you test with a battery: D cell or 6v lantern. Momentary contact only. Plus makes the driver move forward. You can see the woofer and feel the tweeter.

Rob - yes I have and yes I would like to. I believe Thiel Audio represents a brief place in time when small-scale upstart enterprises were possible and appreciated. I have been collecting material and hope someday to have the time to pursue it. I've been forthcoming here, but that just scratches the surface. It was a very wild ride.
