Happy Listening!

Guys-

I found a nice piece on the soon-to-be-famous Mr. Rob Gillum.
Check it out over on the site  audioFi.net

Happy Listening!

Congratulations Prof

Ever since I read your first post about your impressions of both the 
2.7s and 3.7s I was impressed by your detailed insight,
I felt like I was reading The Absolute Sound magazine.
Which after reading I knew I wanted a Thiel design speaker ,
but also knew it would be years before a used 3.7 would enter my price range , then TAS came out with the 2.7 article which convinced me that the 2.7 was not settling for less other than 2 hz of bass and 60Lbs of weight.
I know you switched back and forth many times before you made your finial decision ( which hurts my back thinking about it ) , so now you can just sit back and enjoy .
And by selling your 3.7s make an upgrade  Thiel owner happy or maybe even make a new convert to Thiel speakers .

I just listened to a new ( used ) Japanese copy of Traffic's Mr. Fantasy and the 2.7s really show their stuff .
I believe that some ( especially me )  2.7 owners hope the Rob Gillum comes up with a crossover board upgrade , since he was involved in the design and building of the 2.7s

Prof:  may i suggest that since you going with the 2.7's, which I have and are crazy about,  that you get a REL sub.  i use the SHO S5 and it really takes the speakers to a new level.

Make your opinions known here. Tom Thiel intends to help Rob Gillum engineer XO upgrades for multiple Thiel models . . . and he is monitoring this thread. He is working on his Power Points now, CS2.4 is probably next (actually, CS2.4 owners can get the SE version caps from Rob Gillum right now). CS3.5 is on his radar. I think the 2.3 would be easy given the similarity with the 2.4, 2.7 might not be too much more work. I suspect written requests in this thread will influence the order of model he works on.

This is an exciting development. I think these upgrades will bring Thiel SQ to a new level.
