Thiel announces an update on CS1.6 2-way floorstanding loudspeaker-- the CS1.7, leveraging on technology from the flagship CS3.7 to establish what the company claims are "new standards for resolution of detail, imaging and staging, dynamic capability and tonal purity."

It features an optimised CS1.6 tweeter, with voice coil, magnetic circuit and aluminium diaphragm reworked to increase linearity and lower distortion. The "star" diaphragm in the aluminium woofer is produced via laser measurement technology, the voice coil and magnetic structure enable the driver to operate as a piston through a greater frequency range and the crossover network maintains phase and time coherent nature.

The cabinet is 2.5cm thick and the baffle is 5cm thick, providing plenty of rigidity and inertness, and even the magnetically-adhered grille is engineered to prevent diffraction.

Measuring 24x30x92.4cm (350x380x97.7cm with outriggers), the loudspeaker ships with levelling feet, and Thiel also offers an optional brushed aluminium Outrigger base to improve stability on most surfaces.

The CS1.7 is available now.
