Thiel Owners

tomthiel - Thank you for the quick respond. Unfortunately all four walls are drywalled already, I would have to put them on the short wall. Actually, behind the speakers (on the short wall), there will be two cabinets from floor to ceiling 4 feet wide on both corners, a window in the middle and the equipment rack under the window. The upper part of the cabinets are fill wtih yinyl records (some absorption). So the long wall is more like 18'. If I place the speaks on the short wall what do you recomand the distant from the side wall, the seat and how much toe in or none? What kind of upgrades are you refering to? 

The collective experience of many old-timers is that the room is far more important than is generally acknowledged and that effort spent there is worth some multiple of effort and expense for gear. Keep that in mind.

The CS2 is old, designed in 1984 and released in 1985. There are qualitatively better caps and resistors that can upgrade your sound. Your tweeter is obsolete; we are working on a replacement. Your midrange has a drop-in replacement / upgrade available through Coherent Source Service or directly from Madisound, the importing distributor. There is a long history on this thread of the flow and intent of an ongoing upgrade project.

I'll try to talk about the CS2 in particular soon - it hasn't yet been addressed.
