Thiel CS3.7 repair
I am thinking of aquiring a pair of Thiel CS3.7 used speakers from a local seller. I live about 1 hour from Nashville where Thiel used to be. My question is: is Thiel still in business; and if I need some repair job to be done with my speakers, will Thiel as a company be able to do it?
The rest of my system is a McCormack DNA2-Deluxe amp (recently refreshed) and ARC Ref5 preamp.
In case you haven't yet researched them https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/1208thi/index.html Now that aside, as I recall they are quite demanding of amplifiers (see review) I would source drivers first and consider that if the tech is not local, it will cost a small fortune to ship, and worse (maybe) is many trucking companies are shutting down operations hth |
Thiel was originally based out of the Lexington KY area. A previous employee started Coherent Source Service to maintain legacy Theil products including rebuilding drivers. I was able to remove and submit my 2.4 Theil drivers for a rebuild a few years ago with excellent service and results. In addition there is an ongoing thread of Theil owners on AudioGon with other excellent resources for present and future owners. |
Thanks for that information. I know that there is an on-going thread of Thiel owners, but I want to start another discussion just only for maintenance purposes. I will contact CSS people to see if they are still servicing the CS3.7 speakers. Those are expensive speakers, and I do not want them to become perishable assets. |
