In order to achieve properly balanced bass, it is necessary for the speaker to be used in the environment for which it was designed. THIEL speakers are designed to provide accurate bass when positioned away from all walls—the same position that provides the best imaging.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS The CS1.6’s input terminals are located on the lower rear of the speaker cabinet. The CS1.6 uses 5-way binding posts that accept several types of wire connections. European CE regulations do not permit dual banana plug type loudspeaker connections, but single banana plugs can be used.
It is important to have enough power to play at the level you desire without distortion. If high sound levels are desired, the CS1.6’s are designed to be used with amplifiers rated up to 300 watts per channel (into 4 ohms). If you play the speakers more loudly than the volume the amplifier can cleanly produce, the amplifier will produce overload (clipping) distortion.
