Thiel Tweeter issue

I have a set of used Thiel CS1.2's I recently bought cheap. Of course they were a little dirty, but at low levels sound great! At higher levels though, the tweeter sound harsh, and has got progressively worse. I am having an issue finding a 25TAC/GW-TH H420 60hm 26/90 tweeter replacement. Anyone know a solution? I would be willing to change both tweeters to match, if a different tweeter would be an improvement over the original. Any help would be great! thanks.

Oak-

there are several pairs of the CS 1.2 models on eBay now.
Different price points should render you a very good price in picking up an extra pair of these loudspeakers.

Keep me posted and Happy Listening!

I heard from Thiel, I can get the tweeter rebuilt for $120.00. This problem came when I bought these. I only paid $100 for the pair, and I thought it was the woofer. So the way I see it, even if I spend $120 for the rebuild, I only have $220 in the pair invested.

Thanks! for sharing- Oak.

It is good to read that Thiel offers drivers for these old speakers. This really says a lot about the company and customer service in general.

When you receive your re-built tweet(s), let us know how they sound. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I am listening to these speakers again right now and hear a rattling sound again in one speaker.  Not sure its the same Tweeter that got fixed, or the other one, as the speakers have been moved around.  Not sure I want to spend another $120 to rebuild again.

Ahh just took the covers off and its not the tweeter.  The rubber surround has come unglued from the cone and its flapping making the noise.
