Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1

Hi Alan2, sorry about your woofer. Though it does sound like a DIY project and you can avoid shipping it! A simple desolder and solder in the new driver, I have done it before, not on Thiel, but another speaker.

Curious, why not just put in a new one, what is being rebuilt?

Steve, glad you hung on to your CS6, it is an all time great speaker. I have had mine for a year or so after using 3.6 for 12 years. Your feedback was one of the reasons I upgraded. I could never get my head around the 3.7's. I have learned big speakers are hard to sell, I got very lucky and sold my Eggleston Andra II's locally. These were even heavier than the Thiels.

Hi Pops, Do you know where a new woofer is available?

Pops, I was doing research and Thiel can only rebuild mine for $550.00 Alan

Alan, a few years ago I had Thiel rebuild/repair the bass drivers of my CS6's. Driver removal was easy and reinstallation was also easy but required a helping hand. The folks at Thiel were easy to deal with and I came away a very happy camper.

Thanks for getting back to me regarding my woofer that needs to be rebuilt. Thiel has the parts on order. I'm looking at around three weeks. Regarding the woofer removal. Are the leads that short to unsolder them? I was going to get a chair and get something close to the height in front of the speaker very carefully. But if the wires are too short, I guess I will have someone hold it while I do the unsoldering. Can you give me the heads up on this?
