Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker


Good Day All,

anyone else here stoked about the re-designed Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker? Shipping begins next month.
Happy Listening!

I am not sure what the final price of the 1.6 was, but at $5495, the 1.7 is basically twice the price of the 1.6. That is a huge jump and leaves a real gap at the "entry" level. The SCS4T is something like $3,700 and I do not believe it has been very well accepted. I have a pair of 1.6 as the fronts in my home theater, but at $5,495 I would have definitely looked elsewhere. I paid $2,200 5 years ago.
Yeah too much money for a speaker with a 6.5" bass driver... I like my bass.

Anyone looking into these should try and demo/buy a used pair of 2.4s before they are all gone.
The 1.6 was maybe $2300 new? I've seen 'em used in perfect shape for far less...you want the outriggers because it's the only way to get them to sound like Polynesian canoes.
Right On! Dtc,

I am not certain about the customer capture segment for the SCS4T. Hopefully, the new CEO will stick to the CS 1.7, 2.7 and 3.7 loudspeaker lines!
Happy Listening.
