Thiel Owners

Hello, I’m new to this forum but not to Thiel. My first set of CS 2.3 were purchased in 1999 which I still have. I recently got a second set of CS 2.3 - used - but the first version coax drivers are bad. I sent them to Coherent Source Service for rebuilding. Rob there quoted 3 days for the work but 2 weeks later they are still not done. When I asked for a realistic completion date, he did not reply.

By luck I found updated 2.3 coax drivers on eBay couple days ago and bought them. The install instructions posted in the listing do not cover how to update the crossovers. If anyone has the instructions for the crossover update, I would really appreciate a photo of it.

Thank you jafant and tomthiel. THE Tom Thiel? Wow! Excuse me for being so green. Here is a little more detail on how I ended up here:

My first set of CS 2.3 is 23 years old. I thought about buying newer and better speakers. I went to Rockport dealers to listen to their entry and high end models. They were excellent speakers, but surprisingly they did not impress me as being far better than CS 2.3 despite their astronomical prices. I came away from those auditions far more impressed with the quality of Thiel still comparing so well against new and ultra expensive speakers. That’s how I ended up getting the second set of CS 2.3 for a secondary residence, which apparently was over driven and had fried drivers. Turns out the eBay seller of the drivers has the instructions for updating the crossovers.

Thank you tomthiel for making such a wonderful product that truly stands the test of time. By the way, I have the chance to get a pair of CS 6. Are they significantly better than CS 2.3?

Just a quick update on my CS 2.3 coax rebuild: Rob completed the rebuild. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
