Upgrade Thiel 7 s to 7.2 s ?

I have the same question. It might be worth it to keep the value. As you know, CS7's are not worth much these days. Sonically, I haven't taken the time to listen.

It will be interesting to know what others think.

No comprende' Thiel, so this is just a side bar comment. An upgrade to something that represents most all of its used value would not be a good thing to me. An upgrade of 4grand to something in the 14,18 grand level;well, maybe. Also of GREAT importance would be ;is everything you already have as good as it needs to be now,? and for the upgraded speakers? How much could you get for your 7's? How much would you have to pay for a pair of 7.2's? Important things to know,for you.

Haven't heard the 7's, I have the 3.6's. Been told a 3.7 is in the works. I don't care what it sounds like the 3.6 performance for me is almost perfect. However, a new model will probably drive the used market value down - more audiophiles opportunity to get into a great speaker. If my math is right going from 7's to 7.2's is a 30% jump. I agree with Avguy, what's missing now? That's the $4,000 question.

I have a second hand pair of CS7.2s that I purchased for ~7k that are in very good condition. I haven't heard the CS7s in comparison, so I can't comment on the merit of upgrading to the CS7.2s. In TAS's review of the CS7.2, one of the reviewers upgrades their CS7 to a CS7.2. You can purchase the review online for 3$ at TAS's website.

the 7.2's retail for 13K new . . .

the 7's are running in the 3K range used. The speakers are being driven by a Levinson 336, transparent cables. Supposedly the upgrade replaces all of the drivers with drivers that Thiel now produces in-house. It also reworks the crossovers. Has anyone done this ??
