Thiel Owners

Update on Mills MRA-12 resistors: I replaced the other channel a couple of weeks ago. I hear more bass impact, a more spacious soundstage, and, especially, an ease of presentation. The MRAs even seem to have partially mitigated a somewhat “glassy” quality in the midrange. I can’t wait to hear the full upgrade!

Tom Thiel has placed an order for the custom caps but they won’t arrive until late June or thereabouts. The parts list is nearly finalized for CS2.4s. There are a couple of caps that merit A-Bing to determine which to use in the final design. So, probably late summer or later before the CS2.4 kits are available. 

jafant...

They musta been sold. Just checked.  I still have all the guts from that last pair - drivers, crossovers, bass eq.  The mids are shot and will require fix.  Hmmmm

just wanted to let everyone know i just posted my 2.7's for sale.  it was a tough call between them and the new 3.7's (my girlfriend likes the 2.7's better),  but ultimately i think the 3.7's are a better speaker. 

ronkent,
Beautiful looking speakers!  Someone will be lucky to get them.What does your your girlfriend like better about the 2.7s?  Is it just a size, design thing?  Or does she actually prefer the way they sound?
For me the 2.7s is a nicer looking design than the 3.7s and I figured my wife would agree.  But I was surprised that she actually liked the looks of the 3.7 a bit better. 

Not me though.  I think my 2.7s are just about the nicest looking speaker I've ever seen and finding them in ebony was such a rare occurrence, and I got them for such a great price, I don't think I'll ever let these go.  Even if I bring in another speaker to play with.
I've had the 3.7s out of my system for so long it's helped me "forget" to some degree the ways in which they are obviously better.  I don't want to do any more comparisons, and my 3.7s are ready to sell.  I'm just trying to decide if I'm going to sell them myself or take a trade in from a local dealer for another pair of speakers (Devore Fidelity).

BTW, I see a subwoofer in your set up.  Did you have any trouble mating it with the 2.7s?  And how did you go about doing so?
I've had my JL 110E subwoofers for a long time and STILL haven't got around to giving another try to mate them with the 2.7s.  It just seems such a damned complex undertaking once it involves cross-overs etc.Feels like I'm trying to re-design a speaker.
