Thiel Owners

New here. Perhaps the least interesting question ever... I just acquired CS 3.7s after having them inspected by Rob at Coherent Source Service. They arrived truck freight, and frankly not being as young and strong as I once was, I struggled to get them up the front steps and into the house. The boxes are large and heavy. So, what is the best method for unboxing a set of Thiel CS 3.7s? I suppose that one would open the bottom panels, set the box with the speaker upright, and lift the box up and off, but I have not done this since I got 3.6es in 1994 or so. I think there is a box within a box and some other packing in there. Forgot how I did it then... Thanks for helping with something so mundane.   

@yabe1951 That is the correct way to unbox them. I helped pack my 3.7s from the previous owner and also unpack them at home.

Even though the speakers are not really that heavy for speakers I recommend you get some help to carry them some distance. I had to take them up stairs and then back down and up again. A real pain, It is easy to press on the COAX drivers if yo are not careful. When I removed the COAX drivers (they were messed up) it became so much easier to carry them up and down the stairs. When you carry these speakers by yourself, your hand naturally gravitates to the area where the COAX reside.

Thiel CS6 w/SS1;  I dusted them off for the first time in many years.  They sound amazing and they are not properly located yet.  I connected them to see if everything functions, so I could sell them after the 1st of the year.  I don't follow sales and have no clue what they are worth.  I've got a bit over ten grand in them.  I'm hoping for 35 hundred based on age and condition.  Any help would be appreciated.  Note: They will be sold on Audiogon or not at all.
