Thiel Owners

Asking a little advice, if anyone has had the experience.
As mentioned earlier, I'm playing 2.4s purchased from Mike (who had the bad shipping experience mentioned earlier with his "new SC6s") and using a Thiel px02 set up by Rob Gilliam to run a Thiel SS1 sub.
I purchased the sub after the 2.4s because I sensed I wasn't getting the full bass on old jazz classics.  The sub is set to auto-run and often doesn't kick in at our usual listening levels.
I'll probably call and ask this of Rob, but does anyone have a sense of what difference going to the SI-1 active crossover (or even maybe a JL CR1 might make in opening up the upper range of the mains by taking the bass load off?
I know they seldom come available and wonder if many were sold. Some lucky guy got one on eBay last fall for $250 because the seller didn't know what he had.

Good to see you again- bobsjr4

interesting query. I would like to see pics of your system. Are you listed here in Virtual Systems?  I did not find the CS 2.4 nor my sweet CS 2.4SE speakers to lack Bass. In fact, upon 1st listening, it was the articulate, natural, timbre of the Bass in recordings that struck me like lightning.

I am a big Jazz Hound as well. I love hearing an upright Bass/Double Bass in all of its inherent glory. 

Excellent point- dlcockrum.

I can see how the Thiel Smartsub could be added for the sake of "adding a sub."  My understanding is that JT built the sub to accompany the SC4 monitor system.

Happy Listening!

dlcockrum, I believe he wants to use Thiel's own active cross-over.
