THIEL MCS1

The MCS1 offers the highest performance with the greatest ease of placement for multichannel sound

Innovative Tweeter and Woofer Design
Much of the CS1.6's outstanding performance is the result of its new high output, high efficiency aluminum dome, 1-inch tweeter and the innovative woofer diaphragm/voice coil design. Both drivers incorporate short coil/long gap, copper stabilized motor systems to greatly reduce distortion, employ metal diaphragms for very uniform frequency response and clarity, and use long excursion motor systems for high output capability.

Ideally suited for main, center, and rear channel use.

Designed to provide maximum performance with
vertical, horizontal, shelf, or stand placement.

Provides great realism for both music and movies.

Beautiful cabinetry integrates well into any room.

Delivers very high output.

Has high (90dB) efficiency.

The MCS1 is a breakthrough loudspeaker for achieving high performance sound from an easy-to-place cabinet in home music and video sound systems. The MCS1's extremely realistic reproduction, combined with high output capability, high efficiency, and magnetic shielding makes it a truly ultimate performance multichannel loudspeaker.

A 2002 Stereophile Guide to Home Theater "Recommended Component"
mcs1 All of THIEL's speaker systems are sonically matched, so you can put together an incredibly realistic multi-channel home theater system with MCS1s and any of THIEL's other seven high performance models. Shown here are MCS1s for rear and center speakers with a pair of CS7.2s for the front channels. Front and rear channel speakers are beautifully finished in matching exotic Bird's-eye Maple. The center channel's black laminate finish blends perfectly with the rear projection television and equipment stand.

System Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest bargain ever for a beautiful speaker

THEIL CS2.4"Excellent...(The CS2.4) dramatically exceeds the performance of speakers of comparable size"- Stereo Sound
"The THEIL CS2.4 is a great loudspeaker, one of the very best I've heard regardless of price" - Soundstage
"At their price, I have never heard anything better... Recommending the CS2.4s is one of the easiest jobs I've had to date/" - Secrets of Home theater and high Fidelity

ProAc Tablette Reference Eight SignaturePossibly the best small speaker in the world, we know of no other speaker this small with genuine audiophile quality. No expense has been spared sourcing expensive drive units for this design and boy does it show!

To sum up: Clean and detailed sound, especially beguiling in the midrange; convincing soundstage, with rock-steady image; plays loud without losing sonic balance; superbly made

ATC SCM 50 ASL I was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract

Zingali Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to fight back tears before these speakers.

"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained transfixed for the next 45 minutes"
- Soundstage The 2002 Jimmy Awards

Gryphon PoseidonThere are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.

I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate the sonic abilities of the Poseidon.
