Selling my Thiel CS 2.3 floorstanding speakers. The Cs 2.3 is a high end speaker that was produced from 1997 to around 2002 and sold for $3600. There are many rave reviews online about the CS 2.3 and it was a Stereophile Recommended Component. The CS 2.3 around 41 inches high is built like a tank and weighs 70lbs. as the cabinet is extremely well braced and produces no sound of its own.. The front baffle is 3 inches thick and holds a 9 inch passive, 8 inch woofer and a 3.5 inch midrange with the ..75 inch tweeter in center. The drivers are metal units so the sound is very quick and clear with excellent/scary imaging. Bass response goes down to the mid 30s and is tight and solid. They work perfectly and all drivers are in great shape. The grills are an 8.5 out of 10 and the cabinets are a 7.5 out of 10. They do have some scratches and scuffs but because the wood is a light color they do not stand out for the most part. They are very sharp looking.. I am asking $795 or BO This is on the bottom end of the going rate. Thanks

    GREAT price on a great speaker.

    I'm looking at a pair of 3.6's right now semi local. Sure you don't want to ship? (I know, I know...)

    Upload your images to a site like imgur.com and just link them with the direct image URL you get inside of [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] tags. (Without the spaces between the brackets and IMG)

    Doesn't even need to be that difficult. Just save the photo to your desktop and attach it from there. It's even easy with a phone. I will have to say that attaching photos is one thing that vanilla improved.

    Yes I agree it's easier, can now do it from a tablet or phone linked to my cloud accounts.

    But if it's too big, that is also easy to solve. Lots of free software for shrinking pics.
