Thiel Owners

I am late to this thread, but the last few posts got my interest as I am a Vandy owner.
I have no experience with Thiel, but would using Vandersteen subs be a way to get a more 'seamless' integration?
By handing off the low frequencies to the subs via the external crossover, it should preserve the time/phase coherence, as well as freeing up the amp from power draining low frequencies.

Desper thank you for your thoughts on the cs5 and 3.6s . I have always wanted the cs5s  however after reading up on the 7.2s and reading comments, about potential part availability on the 5s and how rob virtually  has no issues on the 7.2s and them being” ‘newer”makes me wonder which direction I’m going to go. Add in a hot rod kit for the 3.6  decisions decisions!!! Tom I also have a Mcs1 that I use for a center channel that I would be interested in upgrading the crossover. 

Guys - I just snagged a beater pair of MCS1s for the hot rod garage.

I just replaced my SCS1 with an MCS1 to go with the 2.4s I upgraded a few months ago with Rob’s SE parts. The seller also had an SW1, which I also picked up, so my theater system is now close to the form the theater gods intended. The discussion of subs has been helpful, as the SW1 is my first. It definitely adds to the theater experience, but I do find all the potential options for integrating the sub into the music experience daunting. The MCS1 is very nice, but this one is probably about 13-14 yrs old, and I would be interested in any upgrades that might be possible. I’m definitely in the school of “buy quality stuff, then maintain it”, which many here seem to understand.
