“The THIEL CS7.2s are among the very small
handful of loudspeakers that could be considered
the best in the world.”
—Wes Phillips,
SoundStage, March 2001
“The THIEL CS7.2 is simply
a dream speaker.”
— Dirk Sommer,
Image HiFi , March/April 1999
The difference is our engineering
Driver motion in loudspeakers excites the
speaker enclosure, especially the front baffle,
causing energy to be stored and re-radiated over
time, degrading the sound. The CS7.2’s unique
cast mineral polymer baffle greatly reduces
energy storage and unwanted vibration by
providing an extremely rigid mounting for the
drivers, improving both clarity and imaging
performance.
