Thiel Owners

Looks like there was a Les Paul - Gibson sunburst pair of CS3.7 for sale last fall. What a great looking speaker!

OTOH, I've read that the CS3.7 (and by extension 2.7?) were made in China, both the cabinets and drivers. I recall the delays Thiel had going from prototype to production with the CS3.7 . . . I'm super glad my Thiels, including the drivers, were made in Lexington.

you and me share one of the last pairs built.

Did they not make the full 150 pair production?

beetlemania,

as reported per saffron_boots, only 91 pairs of the CS 2.4SE were produced.  Hopefully, the remaining drivers, cross-overs and other critical parts are available via customer service/Mr. Rob Gillum in Lexington KY?

I will attempt to get an affirmation on this important matter.
Happy Listening!

Wow! Well, I'll consider myself lucky despite the less than ideal condition of my pair's cabinets. I seriously thought about just getting a standard pair and modding them but really wanted the outriggers and I dig the "vermilion maple".

Yes, please let us know about driver availability. Cross-overs can be repaired/upgraded, even by a dummy like me, but not so much the drivers!

I continue to pinch myself with luck that I managed to bag a pair of the 2.7s in my coveted ebony finish.  They are just about the most beautiful pair of speakers I've seen, and aesthetics count a lot for me.

Before getting the 2.7s I was just about to start the process of having my 3.7s re-finished in a better color for my room.  Though I would likely have liked the results, I'm glad I didn't get around to is, because selling a custom finish pair is generally harder than selling one with a standard finish.

as a Thiel owner of over 30 years,  starting with the CS 2 and ending with the 2.7's,  i can attest to how great they  really are.   however i have had issues with the mid/tweeter drivers of the 2.7's,  and have had to replace two of them.  Luckily they were covered under warranty and Rob graciously sent me new ones.  I also purchased a spare as you never know what is going to happen with them.  has anyone else had issues with the drivers of the 2.7's.  up until these speakers,  I only had to replace one tweeter (in the 2.2's) in all the preceding years.
