About the CS 6
The Thiel CS6 is a premium three-way floorstanding loudspeaker from Thiel Audio, featuring in-house designed drivers including a 1" aluminum-dome tweeter coaxial with a 4" aluminum/Styrofoam cone midrange, a 10" aluminum-cone woofer, and a 12" passive radiator. It employs Thiel's Coherent Source design with acoustic first-order crossovers (6dB/octave slopes), a sloped concrete front baffle for time alignment, and curved cabinet edges to minimize diffraction. Known for its smooth, warm balance, excellent imaging, deep bass extension, and time coherence, the CS6 requires a powerful amplifier due to its 4-ohm nominal impedance (minimum 2.3 ohms). Thiel Audio ceased operations in 2018, making the CS6 no longer manufactured.
