Thiel CS6

What I have found as someone who has been writing and Composing music with Ray Ellis and Marc Ellis his son, is that these speakers are like Vandersteen 5A'S with much more detail on top end, but less just( a little less bass) on the lower freq..So Getting two subwoofers will give you what the recording REALLY SOUNDS LIKE. Yep, In a Audiophile Recording.If you're reading this I see why Mr. Thiel loved these great speakers that you don't have to ROB A BANK TO HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And If you want to come over to my my house and bring your favorite RECORDING I'll show you!!!!!!The truth is in the pudding!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Alan,
Glad you are having success with your CS 6s. You are absolutely correct about not having to break the bank! Jim Thiel knew what he was doing and apparently the CS 6 was one of his favorites. Gary Dayton showed me a pair when I was at the factory last, which belonged to Jim as his primary home speakers until his death. Enjoy the Thiels! I purchased a pair of CS 1.6s in birdseye maple a couple weeks ago for my new little room and absolutely love them.

Nice to meet you. I wish I would of found out sooner about the CS 6. Enjoy your new CS 1.6s.

I moved the Thiel's 1" to the back walls and that did
the trick. We never stop learning.

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to chime in that I bought a used pair of CS6 a couple weeks back. The seller had bought them at an auction, as they came from a dealer that had gone bankrupt. I paid a quite reasonable price, got them home (after almost 800 miles of driving to get them and bring them home), hooked them up and they sounded horrible. Came to the conclusion the tweeters were fried after talking with Tim in Thiel service, who was fantastic.

More to come, but $162 later I got new tweeters delivered today via UPS, installed them which takes all of about 30 seconds each, and played them for about an hour on a variety of music. Night and day, the tweeters were what these CS6s needed, and with absolutely no tweaking of setup, toe-in, etc. they sound fantastic. I also have a pair of CS2.4s (which led me to seek out the 6s), and while those are great, too, the CS6 is a true full range speaker.

Now I need a center channel that pairs well...any suggestions? Thanks!
