Thiel CS 1.5 walnut with original boxes

Thiel CS 1.5 in walnut with original factory double cartons, manuals, and spikes.

Perfect operationally and very good cosmetically; a few minor chips which are shown in photos.

These were, in my opinion, superior to the newer 1.6 and 1.7 (I've owned every version of the "1" since the original). Consistently more musical than the newer models, which were more forward and aggressive.

Originally $2,190, I believe they are a solid value at $690 - especially considering that most anything in this price range would require stands (and be made in China - which is beside the point). These will also be listed on ebay so this ad may be removed at any time pending sale over there. Please double the shipping calculator for accurate quote.
