Is this a CS5 or a CS.5 (point 5)

24.51.247.12

big difference between the two.

If this is a CS5, not the point 5, you got some real issues with both xover, drivers, enclosure and amplification.

If a CS5 the xover is going to be a bitch to copy and will cost some coin. 30 to 40 parts probably and some are going to be hard to buy.

If a CS5 the impedance load will crush many fine amps, only a few will be able to drive that speaker.

If a CS5 the size of the enclosure, driver placement and slant of the front baffle will be a real challange.

Price, well the tweeter upper mid dome and midrange where sourced while the bass units were specific to Thiel. The tweeter was a $25 Vifa, dome was $50 unit and midrange was a bit more. Only the tweeter can still be purchased. I'd offer maybe $200 for all 12 drivers, BUT you better make sure about the amps you plan on using and your xover copy skills.

If it is a point 5, the tweeter was still a Vifa and the sourced midbass unknown, price maybe $50 for all four drivers.
