THIEL CS5i Coherert[ Sottrce'n loudspeaker system. The CS5i is the result of a long and dedicated effort to provide the most accurate music repro- duction possible. We have used only the highest quality components and taken great care in its construction.

' Screw one foot into each of the two holes at the back corners of the speaker. The feet should be screwed into the speaker with the wrench provided until there is about /q" of threadremaining visible. (Use the small end of the wrench for the pointed feet and the large end for the nylon feet.)
