These hold their own against a good few speakers that I’ve had .
Not sure why it says do not use without the grills ?? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181019/3d7fd836773f6abe2cca62bdf4775973.jpg

I had a pair of the larger Thiel 2.3 - happily for Stan Beresford they handily saw off a pair of Yammie 1000M imo, Stan bought the Yams from me!
The same sloped back cab, but with a concentric tweeter/mid and a passive bass radiator.
Very neutral and fast, with seriously taut bass. I kept them for quite a while.

Do the grilles have inserts that match the cab profile? - if so, I suspect they are designed to minimise diffraction edge effects from the sharp profile of the driver mount panel.

Exactly that, Jerry. Those Thiels look very nice Andrew!

I recall the excellent Stereophile review (https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs12-loudspeaker-page-2) of the 1.2 from when it was first published - it was that that put Thiel on my Want List, they sounded like my sort of speaker, and I wasn't disappointed when I finally got a pair of Thiels.

They kind of remind me of one of my favourite speakers, the rega ela but with bass [emoji16]

To be fair, they’re a bit ugly without them... ;)
