About the PCS
The Thiel PCS is a 3-way stand-mounted speaker standing 19 inches tall, designed and manufactured by Thiel Audio. It features a unique coaxial tweeter/midrange driver that shares a single voice coil without an electrical crossover, resulting in perfect time coherence, improved imaging, and transient fidelity. The woofer is a 6.5-inch aluminum cone driver with a 2.5-pound magnet and a short coil/long gap motor system to minimize distortion and resonances. The enclosure is made of veneered MDF with a sloped front baffle for acoustic alignment and internal bracing filled with fiber batting. The PCS has a frequency response of approximately 55Hz to 23kHz (-3 dB) and an efficiency of 87 dB with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms (minimum 3.3 ohms). It is recommended to be paired with amplifiers capable of driving low impedance loads, ideally stable down to 2 ohms. The speaker is finished in high grain walnut veneer or birds-eye maple and is noted for its balanced, neutral sound with excellent midrange presence and detailed imaging. While the bass extends to about 50-55 Hz, a subwoofer is recommended for full low-frequency extension in larger rooms. The PCS was originally Stands are not included but can be requested separately. The design emphasizes time coherence and phase integration, hallmarks of Thiel's speaker philosophy.
