My reason for asking is a friend from upstate NY that got a pair for $400 a couple of years ago and he said he was lusting after them since he heard them in the 90s.Thiel is long gone. The original maker passed away, then the company got bought out by venture vultures and tried selling Chinese-made "audiophile" and "lifestyle" speakers which completely ignored the design principles of the original products. That failed spectacularly and they had a big liquidation auction last year.
since you like some pepper and a few drops of hot sauce in the upper mids and highs, then they can be your cup of tea ... also I believe that Bose sued them because they were using 2.2, so I think they changed the model to CS2 2Anyone hear these? Just curious not for sale.

Very nice, but yes. Overpriced. It's almost like some of these guys don't want to sell their stuff very bad, or they just plain don't understand the used market. These have been in my Craigslist since I started this thread.

Totem Acoustic Sky speakers. It seems like I've been seeing a few speakers from Totem pop up here locally recently.
Well alrighty then. I've never heard a Totem before. The seller mentions that whathifi gushed over them and it had the opposite effect I think he was going for. Mentioning those guys raises red flags with me, lol.Those retail for $2150 Cdn. All of the Totem stuff is very expensive.
I've heard nothing but good about the OG Thiel's. But as JZ pointed out, they are gonna be hot on the top end. A lot of manufacturers used Vifa aluminum tweeters in the 90's. I've had 3 pairs of speakers featuring them and all have left the same negative impression.My reason for asking is a friend from upstate NY that got a pair for $400 a couple of years ago and he said he was lusting after them since he heard them in the 90s.

Measurements for Totem speakers tend to always be peaks and dipsWell alrighty then. I've never heard a Totem before. The seller mentions that whathifi gushed over them and it had the opposite effect I think he was going for. Mentioning those guys raises red flags with me, lol.
But have a fairly loyal following but the gear/setups they're often mentioned with has made me to tend to think to avoid....never sought out the measurements, tho.Measurements for Totem speakers tend to always be peaks and dips
