In Reply to: RE: The best bass (below 100 Hz) you have heard posted by fantja on November 30, 2014 at 06:36:20
Hi and thanks for the kind suggestion
I read from Stereophile " a 10" woofer, and a 10" passive radiator "
and the woofer looks really serious. What a beast !
I can imagine a great bass indeed.
I read an article about the high quality of the Thiel speakers.
I liked them even if i had another budget in mind.
Great speakers. Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Another thought,
who could have thought of a passive radiator driver be integrated into the over-all speaker design? It is very impressive indeed!
Hi personally i would prefer just one very good active woofer in a closed box
Maybe i will lose something in the very bass but control is everything for me ... i like a very solid low end
But the actice driver looks really impressive indeed.
And the cabinet construction must be exceptional.
Great speakers.
Kind regards,

My pleasure.
There are obviously different ways to measure woofers. The Thiel CS3.7 woofer measures 7.5-inches across the aluminum moving diaphragm. The hole in the half-inch thick aluminum front baffle is 9-inches in diameter and the speaker mounts to the inside face of the baffle. I suspect the frame of the raw driver might measure 10-inches across but it bolts to the inside of a 9-inch hole in the baffle. The bottom of the speaker enclosure is removable so the woofer and passive radiator can be installed from the inside.
Unfortunately, the Thiel CS3.7 speaker is no longer being manufactured. The people who bought out Thiel moved the factory headquarters from Lexington, KY to Nashville, TN and discontinued production of the CS3.7 speaker. It's really a shame because this is one of the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. I'm lucky to own them. I bought mine directly from the factory a few months before the company was sold.
Hi and yes they are gorgeous speakers indeed
I read an article mentioning how expensive were to build and the margin low
I am sure they must sound spectacular
I like the coaxial, the thick front baffle ... the metal drivers
You are lucky to own them.
Kind regards,
