Thiel CS 1.6 floorstanding speakers in excellent condition. Original drivers in great condition, no issues. The dustcover on the woofers were pushed in a bit but I was able to pull them out with duct tape, but you can still see a crease if you look hard enough. But the dustcovers are not torn or ripped at all. The veneer on the speakers is in great condition, beautiful walnut finish (real wood). These have the typical and wonderful Thiel sound, very articulate with tight but not overpowering bass. Ive owned the 1.2, 1.5 and 3.5 models, and these are (IMHO) definitely an improvement over the 1.2 and 1.5. The 3.5, due to there size and 3-way design, might have an edge for higher-volume listening, but at moderate levels I like the 1.6 the best. These are 4 ohm speakers. The design is advanced from the 1.5 it replaced, a cnc machine was used to carve out the front baffle to optimize dispersion. The grill is magnetic and fits into a depression for a seamless look. Very cool. In addition, you will notice the long vertical slot acting as a reflex port. These are really great and modern looking speakers.From Stereophile:The 6.5 woofer, designed and manufactured in-house, uses a 3 voice-coil to drive the metal cone closer to its perimeter than usual. This is said to increase the stiffness of the cone, pushing the inevitable breakup modes much higher in frequency than with a conventional cone and voice-coil. The large coil allows the neodymium magnet to be housed completely within the voice-coil former, inherently shielding the magnet. The 1 tweeter uses a metal dome and, like the woofer, features a short coil with a copper distortion-reducing ring, operating in a long gap. The tweeter dome is recessed slightly in a front plate with a short flare, which will increase its on-axis sensitivity to match the efficient woofer, at the expense of restricting the units dispersion in the top octave.The crossover is, as is usual in Thiels Coherent Source designs, a phase-optimal first-order type. This and the sloping back baffle allow the sounds from both drivers to arrive at the listeners ears at the same time. In a welcome departure from earlier Thiel speakers, the CS1.6s sturdy terminal posts are sited on the rear of its cabinet rather than the base.Ive had this pair as a secondary set to my Dahlquist DQ10 speakers. Im keeping the Dahlquist mainly due to the fact that I refurbished the DQ10s so I have a pride of restoration for them. Their sound is different from the Thiels, not necessarily better, just different. The Thiels, as mentioned before, are very articulate and tight across the spectrum. In summary, simply a great pair of speakers.Pick up in NW NJ, willing to meet at a reasonable distance.
