This paper describes some of the technical performance aspects, design
considerations and features of the THIEL model CS.5 loudspeaker system. It is
intended to supply information for those who are interested in such matters. It is not
intended to imply that good measured technical performance is sufficient to
guarantee good sonic performance.
