Thiel Owners

To get to my crossovers in 2.4's I unscrewed the passive radiator. Then carefully I let the top nose sit down in the cross brace behind it and that allowed the bottom nose to be free to come up out of the speaker cabinet. Because everything fits so precise you want to be careful. And it is a little counter intuitive when you look at it and then do it. Be real careful not to pull or wiggle anything very strongly it all looks kind of delicate in there. It does come apart relatively easily. Anyway when you remove the passive radiator the crossover is easily seen and reachable. 

I am thinking those big professional looking solder mounds where I think six connections are on the trace board a little to intimidating for me. I can solder an individual connection extremely well. I would probably be better off in sending my crossovers in to Rob to care for that. The main reason I would use him is his quality of work is easily up there with the standard of Thiel speakers.  We are in good hands with him. So I figure for a little shipping get it done as the quality would be from the factory.

Thank You for the information -marqmike

I know for a fact that I do not possess the skill-level to take speakers/cross-overs apart. For those of you guys so inclined, stand up, and be counted!

We need more modders of speakers and gear in our hobby.

Happy Listening!

@marqmike Thanks for those posts. I think I’ll call Rob Gillum before I proceed. But I do want to look at the crossover to see if it’s a job I’m comfortable with. At a minimum, I’d like to at least take the crossover out at home to save on shipping costs and not risk cabinet damage during shipment.

Picked up a pair of 1.6's a few months back and have been hooked.  This past weekend a pair of mint 3.6's came up at a local hifi shop.  They are now in my living room and I couldn't be happier with them.

I haven't spent much time with mixing and matching.
