Small Coherent Source

While Thiel's Ken Dawkins and I were talking, he said, "Have I told you about the SCS4?"

Why no.

"It replaces the SCS3. It costs $990 each and has sensitivity of 88dB. It has a cast aluminum baffle and the same concentric driver as the twice as expensive PowerPoint."

Dawkins paused to think. "Did I cover everything? Oh yeah, not only do they play louder than the SCS3s, they're cheaper!"

Fine, fine, but what about a pair of CS3.7s for Stereophile?

"They are manufacturing that pair at this very minute!"

Well, all right.

When did Thiel forego its Kentucky roots to have its speakers constructed in China? That must be the reason the SCS4s are cheaper than the SCS3s! Too bad.

Can we expect direct replacement of discontinued PCS monitor louspeakers dedicated to stereo systems?
