Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se


I'm currently using thiel cs2.4. Any master can advise on how to upgrade to cs2.4se by changing its capacity? May i know the value and specs of the capacitors? What is the sound difference between cs2.4 vs dc2.4se? Tq

Dear beetlemania,
I'm comtemplating to  upgrade the resistors in my xover suggested by you. May i know is there any sonic difference between the old millls resistor vs vishay mills resistor?  Which one sounds better? 

Dear holco,
Can you share some videos or thoughts  after the major upgrade?

I did not attempt to compare Mills and Vishay Mills. I read one opinion that the older Mills are better but Tom Thiel thinks this is not worth worrying about. And it’s mostly academic because the CS2.4 values force you to buy some of each - impossible to make this comparison even if you wanted to.

how is your power amp? Can you talk about the other gear in your system? Hope you are well and having fun with your cross-over project.


Happy Listening!

A measured of 30.1ohm on the coax xover makes sense.  Based on the coax xover schematic, there is a 30ohm resistor in series with the resistance of the 0.15mh.  The typical resistance of a 0.15mh inductor is probably in the range of 0.1 - 0.3 Ohm.  So if you add both together, it's about in the range of 30.1 - 30.3 Ohm.

In my experience, Clarity cap tends to sound slightly mid range forward.  The CS2.4 driver being very transparent so this may explain the perceived lower bass response balance.
