Merry Chrisrmas to you all. I've enjoyed following this thread since I saw it featured on A'gon. It was I to whom Mike sold his 2.4s and I've enjoyed not only the speakers immensely, but sharing in his quest to find new Thiels and upgrade his system to them. I added the SS1sub and had Robb modify a Thiel passive crossover for the 2.4.
Yes,Robb is great to talk to and who will be the go-to guy if he retires? For example, he highly recommended the 2.7 (which they were selling on eBay) over the 2.4 because of the new dual driver that he called the best that Jim Thiel had ever designed, and warned me they had no replacement amps for the SS1 until a new sub in the works comes out.
I had looked at the Thiels 5is that Mike traded to a guy in San Antonio and concluded what Mike learned the hard way and you've all confirmed; the speaker price is little compared to the cost of driving them.
I'll probably go back to being a fly on the wall but wanted to wish everyone a great holiday.
Bob
