CS7.2
The THIEL CS7.2 is uncompromisingly engineered
to provide the most realistic reproduction possible.
HE CS7.2 COMBINES THE
highest performance in home
T
music and video sound
reproduction with uncompromised
craftsmanship. The CS7.2’s extreme
sonic accuracy enables the listener
to experience all of the power and
subtle nuances of your favorite
recordings; all of the delicate
shading of musical timbre; and all
with natural three-dimensional
spaciousness.
Advanced, four-way design
We spared little in engineering and
building the CS7.2. From its
advanced, THIEL designed and
built, all-metal diaphragm drivers to
its complex crossover network and
exquisite cabinetry, the CS7.2
represents the ultimate in innovative
design techniques, premium
materials, quality workmanship, and
fastidious attention to detail. We
invite you to audition the CS7.2
with the music you love most.
[The CS7.2] is the finest
loudspeaker I’ve had in my
“
system…I enthusiastically
recommend them…

Cast mineral polymer baffle
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.
1-inch thick cabinet walls, extensive
internal bracing, and separate driver
sub-enclosures for the upper and lower
midrange drivers, all contribute to
reducing energy storage in the CS7.2.

Tweeter/midrange driver array
The specially designed 1-inch dome tweeter is
mounted coaxially with the upper midrange
driver. The tweeter is unique in that it uses four
radially magnetized neodymium
magnets to power the voice coil. This,
along with the long excursion, long gap
structure, gives the CS7.2 tweeter much
higher output capability and lower
distortion than conventional tweeters.
The upper midrange driver uses a threelayer sandwich construction diaphragm
for extra rigidity to improve clarity. The
diaphragm’s special shape eliminates
tweeter frequency response problems
from the coaxial mounting.
Lower midrange
The 6.5-inch lower midrange is
designed for outstanding upper
bass and lower midrange
performance. It employs a short
coil/long gap motor system, 2.4
pound magnets, and an aluminum
diaphragm for very low distortion
and uniform frequency response.
A copper pole sleeve maintains
a stable magnetic field.
The CS7.2 is a breakthrough …they have few
rivals, even at up to $17,000 a pair…you absolutely
“
must audition the CS7.2.

Woofer
The 12-inch woofer uses an
extremely large 9 pound magnet
and a short coil/long gap motor
system for exceptionally clean,
deep bass response to 23 Hz
with only one-tenth the distortion
found in most bass drivers. The
rigid aluminum diaphragm
provides resonance-free
operation for uniform response
and very open reproduction. A
heavy copper ring maintains an
ultra-stable magnetic field.
